I have a site with logins. I am planning to recode logins soon (right now the username and password are stored in cookies with no encoding). In your opinion, which of these is a better idea:
1. Storing in two cookies with md5 encoding for the password
2. Use sessions
3. Store logins in a database, and put an id from there into a cookie
