Secure hash and salt for PHP passwords
What is the best way to prepare a password for insertion into a database, i am aware of md5, but i was wondering if there where some more features/encryptions i could do to it.
Thanks!
You really don’t want to encrypt passwords, but rather a hash of the password which you just ‘match’ against.
Storing passwords is very insecure and encryption can be broken, a one way hash cannot*
