Password Encryption - MD5

Question

I did MD5 Password hash but since it is that MD5 password Hash is crackable is there any other built in password hash function in PHP?

Which is easy to implement and no need for other libraries.

Big thanks in advance

What version of PHP do you use? If you use 5.5 you can use the new [password_hash()](http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php) function which handles all of this for you. — John Conde, Feb 04 '14 at 20:01

PHP 5.5 has new password functions built in.

and to verify passwords you can use.

If you are using a version of PHP earlier than 5.5 consider using the following library.
