Sounds like a complicated situation. Okay, this is comical. At no point did I accuse you of encrypting passwords. I accused you of rolling your own cryptography based on that post in the other thread. Not only am I not confused about the difference between hashing and encryption, but you seem to have confused the word cryptography to mean encryption. You should start with an understanding of basic cryptography terms and concepts. Let me draw you a map: If you're going to accuse me of incompetence, please do so competently.

This is a response to this post, since the topic is locked: From Wikipedia: You should go into additional detail. This sounds like you rolled your own cryptography in production. This is a bad idea. What to do next time, couresy of Coda Hale: Since this forum software is a PHP application, you should be using password_hash() and password_verify().
