chronister Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 What is the general consensus here on storing passwords. Store them in a 1 way encryption scheme and if a user forgets it, make them create a new password, or store in a 2 way encrypt - decrypt scheme and send an email with their same password? I have been using the 1 way md5() hash for storing passwords. How do you do it?? Thanks, Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
