How to use?
First step – Download the phpass Library Download
Second is to include the phpass library into our code.
1 | require_once ('class-phpass.php'); |
then we instantiate the class
1 | $wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(8, TRUE); |
PasswordHash class adds salt to the password and hashes it with 8 passes of MD5. MD5 is used by default because it’s supported on all platforms.
To generate a password you can do this:
1 | echo $wp_hasher->HashPassword('test'); |
Comparing plain password and hashed password:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | $password_hashed = '$P$B55D6LjfHDkINU5wF.v2BuuzO0/XPk/'; $plain_password = 'test'; if($wp_hasher->CheckPassword($plain_password, $password_hashed)) { echo "YES, Matched"; } else { echo "No, Wrong Password"; } |
