Recently I ran into a situation where I had to change the username and password that Contribute uses for the SFTP operations. I don't have my stuff setup to use individual SFTP logins, since I am doing away with direct shell access to the webroot and dislike manually updating permissions for people. I found out that there is a hidden password policy in the Contribute Publishing System with regards to what it will pass as the SFTP password.
