Secure hash and salt for PHP passwords
Alright so im thinking of double hashing passwords with md5 (example hashing the password and then hashing the hash of the password). I want to know if anyone ever experienced any problems with this method and if you think its a good way to salt something. Thanks
I disrecommend hashing twice.
You might lose some password hashes, making your code even more insecure. It won’t help with security.
The best way is to add salt to password and hash once!
The purpose of the salt is to make it more difficult to brute-force short passwords with pre-computed tables. You can make the salt user dependent.
