hi there i want to know which type of encryption is used by php fusion to store user password's in the database. i think its md5 but which one is it md5(base 64) md5(apr) or anyone else i am thinking of increasing encryption on the passwords so they can't be hacked. so pls let me know which one is it?
passwords are double md5 encrypted when i remember correctly, wich is currently verry safe. No need to increase your security I guess. ;)
I think a larger problem for passwords is that they are too obvious or to easy. Only way to overcome that is to make some kind of password strength check system.
you can't decrypt md5 as it's a one-way-hash. you can just guess the value. this is called bruteforce and takes some years on random passwords with more than 10 characters.
