note 112733 added to function.password-needs-rehash

ydroneaud this would be used on a login page, not at any other time. So if you have a site with MD5 passwords for example, and wish to upgrade to SHA256 for additional security you would put this check in the login script. This function will take a user's hash and say if it is SHA256, if it isn't then you can take the user's password which you still have as plaintext and rehash it as SHA256. This lets you gradually update the hashes in your database without disrupting any features or resetting passwords. ---- Server IP: 113.20.13.217 Probable Submitter: 60.240.184.57 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-needs-rehash.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/112733 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/112733 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/112733 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
