The note by: "apex at xepa dot nl" on 24-Nov-2003 06:59 "Another note on storing passwords .. don't use MD5 it's too weak." I believe that your statement is a little off there, MD5 is not an encryption. It is a hash and is by far the hardest hash to crack. The reason you're probably saying that it's too weak is because chances are you are using regular words as passwords[Example: banana]. Thus: It's a snap to crack with a quick script. If you add in a script to force the user to have a certain length of characters and must contain a certain amount of numbers, you would be fine. MD5 is very widely available, and most people do not have access to change their PHP settings and add in modules. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39922 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39922&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39922&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
