Synook Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I don't see anything wrong with it, besides the fact they changed the hash algorithm recently. That would have broken applications with databases that used the old PASSWORD() hashes, so I suppose it is more reliable to choose your own hash algorithm, be it MD5, SHA1 or another.Where did you hear it was not a good thing to use?
