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?
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.
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.
