This article introduces several widely used PHP encryption algorithms—including MD5, SHA family, AES, RSA, and Base64 encoding—explaining their functions, security considerations, and PHP functions for implementation, while also mentioning additional algorithms like DES, RC4, and Blowfish for specific use cases.
This article explains how to securely hash passwords in PHP using the password_hash function, describes the underlying hash concept, provides example code for hashing and verifying passwords, and highlights automatic salting and best practices for protecting user credentials.
Websites cannot reveal original passwords because they store only salted, one‑way hashes, not the plaintext, making recovery impossible; therefore, when users forget their credentials, the secure approach is to verify identity and issue a password reset rather than expose any stored data.
