fanfavorite Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I was wondering how people are storing passwords to use with PHP. I normally store passwords in databases with md5, but you cannot decrypt it, so it is useless if you want to be able to use ftp passwords to connect to other sites. Is it best to create a custom function to encrypt/decrypt the passwords? Does anyone have any examples? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfavorite Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 After some research, I am going to try out AES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioden Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Any success? You're raising an interesting point with what to do with FTP (or SSH) passwords. It's a little disappointing there hasn't been much debate on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfavorite Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sorry bud, don't have much time to come on here anymore, so just getting to this post now. AES is the best solution I have found. Haven't played around with it too much, but is what I am using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
