Passwords are +secrets that must only be known to their owner, and thus must work +only in one direction. Hashing does that - there’s <em>no</em> un-hashing or +de-hashing, but there is decoding and decryption.</p> +</li> +<li><p class="first">DO NOT use weak or broken hashing algorithms like MD5 or SHA1.</p> +<p>These algorithms are old, proven to be flawed, and not designed for +password hashing in the first place.</p> +<p>Also, DON’T invent your own algorithms.</p> +<p>Only use strong password hashing algorithms like BCrypt, which is used +in PHP’s own <a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/password">Password Hashing</a> functions.</p> +<p>Please use them, even if you’re not running PHP 5.5+, CodeIgniter +provides them for you.</p> +</li> +<li><p class="first">DO NOT ever display or send a password in plain-text format!</p> +<p>Even to the password’s owner, if you need a “Forgotten password” +feature, just randomly generate a new, one-time (this is also important) +password and send that instead.</p> +</li> +<li><p class="first">DO NOT put unnecessary limits on your users’ passwords.</p> +<p>If you’re using a hashing algorithm other than BCrypt (which has a limit +of 72 characters), you should set a relatively high limit on password +lengths in order to mitigate DoS attacks - say, 1024 characters.</p> +<p>Other than that however, there’s no point in forcing a rule that a +password can only be up to a number of characters, or that it can’t +contain a certain set of special characters.</p> +<p>Not only does this <strong>reduce</strong> security instead of improving it, but +there’s literally no reason to do it.
