brb looking up your password hash and then bruteforcing your weakly hashed md5 password.. c:


bcrypt is slow, which makes it a great way to slow bruteforcing down.

I think I might have left something out in the code above. Gonna do this again tonight.

Makes MyBB use the bcrypt hashing algorithm instead of the MD5 + Salt algorithm that it uses by default.

Here's a post by one of the members of my forum explaining it after I implemented it myself:
