wp-password-bcrypt is a WordPress plugin to replace WP's outdated and insecure\nMD5-based password hashing with the modern and secure bcrypt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

It is written by roots.io people<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin requires PHP >= 5.5.0 which introduced the built-in\npassword_hash<\/code><\/a> and\npassword_verify<\/code><\/a> functions.<\/p>\n\n

See Improving WordPress Password Security<\/a>\nfor more background on this plugin and the password hashing issue.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/password-bcrypt<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    Manual installation as a must-use plugin<\/dt>\n

    If you don't use Composer, you can manually copy wp-password-bcrypt.php<\/code> into your mu-plugins<\/code> folder.<\/p>\n\n

    We do not<\/strong> recommend using this as a normal (non-MU) plugin. It makes it too easy to disable or remove the plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
