# Which Problems Are Solved
A customer noted that after upgrade to 2.53.0, users were no longer able
to reset their passwords through the login UI.
This was due to a accidental change in
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/7969
# How the Problems Are Solved
The `preferred_login_name` is now correctly read from the database.
# Additional Changes
None.

# Which Problems Are Solved
During the implementation of #7486 it was noticed, that projections in
the `auth` database schema could be blocked.
Investigations suggested, that this is due to the use of
[GORM](https://gorm.io/index.html) and it's inability to use an existing
(sql) transaction.
With the improved / simplified handling (see below) there should also be
a minimal improvement in performance, resp. reduced database update
statements.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The handlers in `auth` are exchanged to proper (sql) statements and gorm
usage is removed for any writing part.
To further improve / simplify the handling of the users, a new
`auth.users3` table is created, where only attributes are handled, which
are not yet available from the `projections.users`,
`projections.login_name` and `projections.user_auth_methods` do not
provide. This reduces the events handled in that specific handler by a
lot.
