Good article.

I do find it odd that WordPress doesn’t salt the passwords for users. That’s basic security.

I definitely agree sending unhashed data across a network is a bad idea, security wise. When I go to use this trick, I’ll generate a new password and set it from within WP afterwards.

Yep, I meant the function, tired brain. Its going to be useful for resetting passwords when clients really, really mess up a blog (yep, it happens).

Coheed, if someone gets into your database, the password would be about the only thing that they couldn’t access easily.

Good to know, DD32 – thanks :)
