Hi, could you check the operating system you use for your host? The password hash should be something else than MD5. I can see MD5 being available in the dropdown for some reason even though it is no longer supported.

Hope this helps,
O.

Where is the dropdown?

In the main menu, go to Hosts → Operating systems, click on the os name to see the details (in your case Ubuntu 16.04).

I believe you are hitting this bug:

It’s been merged yesterday, easy workaround for you - template change.
