Hello, recently i wented to make my web application password more secure, so i went online to read more about password security. I discovered that md5 function which most developers still use for securing their password is outdated due to the more effiecient GPU machines out there that can crack md5() within seconds.
So on my research process, i stubble on an article that gives me more insight as to why md5 is old fashioned and bscript is better. I will be writing on bscript soon.

Today topic is on the major challenge developers face with phpass(a password framework that uses bscript).
After creating my hashed password, i inserted into the database column. Then i wanted to login to the web application, and can't login due to the checkPassword($loginpassword,$storedPassword) method return false.
As a matter of fact this took me the second day to figure out the cause of this issue after brain storming the internet for solution, which i couldn't find.
The problem was caused by the character length of the hashed password which is 61 rather than 60 characters.
