Topic: Encrypted password

Hello,
id like to use account and passwords from punbb forums in my other php thing. But when I look with phpmyadmin onto password, they are not lookin' as the ones I use. Are they somehow encrypted? How do decrypt 'em?

Re: Encrypted password

They are hashed, which means they can not be decrypted.

Re: Encrypted password

Then how to unhash 'em / use them in another log in form?

Re: Encrypted password

You can't unhash something, that would be decrypting it.

Re: Encrypted password

So then, how it is workin' in punBB forums? What to do to make log in form using same accounts/passwords as in punBB forum?

Re: Encrypted password

Hash the password that the user provides, the same way PunBB does, and compare the hashes.
