Hi,
What do you think about adding PHPass compatibility to the password hashing
API ?
We could add two new algos : PASSWORD_MD5 and PASSWORD_EXT_DES.
That way, existing password crypted using phpass ($P$*, $H$*, _* prefix)
could be verified using the password hashing API.
PHPass implementation could then be merged with
https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat
to provide a forward
compatible PHP Implementation for users without PHP5.5.
?
