Password bcrypt

Description

wp-password-bcrypt is a WordPress plugin to replace WP’s outdated and insecure
MD5-based password hashing with the modern and secure bcrypt.

It is written by roots.io people.

This plugin requires PHP >= 5.5.0 which introduced the built-in
password_hash and
password_verify functions.

See Improving WordPress Password Security
for more background on this plugin and the password hashing issue.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/password-bcrypt directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress

FAQ

Manual installation as a must-use plugin

If you don’t use Composer, you can manually copy wp-password-bcrypt.php into your mu-plugins folder.

We do not recommend using this as a normal (non-MU) plugin. It makes it too easy to disable or remove the plugin.
