Bug#541255: wiki.debian.org: Failure to create new account (TypeError)

[Carl Worth <cworth@cworth.org>]

Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: important

To reproduce:

    http://wiki.debian.org
    Click "Login"
    Click "you can create one now"
    Fill all entries in form and click "Create profile"

At this point, instead of getting an account created, I'm greeted
with:

    TypeError

    unbound method password_checker() must be called with LocalSecrets
    instance as first argument (got unicode instance instead)

By clicking "show debugging information" I get the traceback below.

Please let me know if there's any further information I could provide
that would be helpful.
