Latest 6.0.1 Upgrade Changed WebUI Password settings

Expected Behaviour:

  1. On v6.0.0 with no admin password
  2. Used pihole up command
  3. Admin interface is NOT restricted by password

Actual Behaviour:

  1. On v6.0.0 with no admin password
  2. Used pihole up command
  3. Admin interface is now restricted by password

Used "pihole setpassword" to remove password again.

Probably.

Apparently the old code resulted in false if the password was set as empty and the new code results in true.

is this fix released yet? im currently on * 2025.02.7 and still having this issue. i always need to reset my password with pihole setpassword to blank on each container restarts.

@ivanjx see my response on GitHub.
