Common questions

Can a hash be reversed?

No. Hashing is one-way. You can only guess the original and compare hashes.

Is MD5 secure?

MD5 is considered broken for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or stronger for anything security-related.

Should I hash passwords this way?

No. Password storage needs a slow, salted algorithm designed for it.
