If we can’t decode the MD5 hash string, then what is the purpose of MD5 where can we use MD5.
To store data save in a database for example.
If you save your password using md5 and you compare it with the password you enter in a form and hash it, it is still the same password but you can’t see it in clear text in the database.
For example:
if you try to log in and you enter 123 as your password, the md5 of it will still be the same and you can compare those. But if your database is hacked the hacker cannot read the password in clear text, only the hashed value
