Isn't it past time to implement a new encryption type like SHA-256?

 

MD5 is easily breakable, so there is really no reason someone would bother save encrypted passwords, and that's just a loss.. to players, as newbies admins frequently get hacked :P

It would be interesting to use bycrypt in order to generate an encryption from php pages with greater security.

I was suggesting to support SHA in source, not for replacing the MD5, but as option.

Yeah, because no major company ever got hacked.

And the last part of your sentence is exactly why there should be better encryption, AND IT SHOULD BE ENABLED BY DEFAULT.

No need to, only learn how to protect your web pages and CP with anti sql injection, xss, etc embedded inside the code. That's the difference between a good programmer and a novice.

Oh.. you are so right, I will bend in my bed a little to reflect why password encryption was ever created.

I know for certain, that you cannot be certain about being perfectly safe. That being said, MD5 should not be an option - it should be replaced entirely. I recommend bcrypt or scrypt, with bcrypt being the better fit currently as it is tested and understood a lot better.

Interestingly, I was messing around with this matter a while ago - however, I'm currently on hold due to plenty of work and university coming up again.

Better password encryption should be included, I agree +10000000 with that.

Since the client only supports clear text and MD5, this isn't possible.
