WP Password Argon

WP Password Argon Enhance WordPress security by replacing outdated MD5 password hashing with modern Argon2i encryption The Problem WordPress still uses MD5-based password hashing (via PHPass), an algorithm from 2001 that's considered weak by modern security standards. While adequate for its time, MD5 is vulnerable to: - ⚠️ Brute force attacks (fast to compute) - ⚠️ Rainbow table attacks - ⚠️ GPU-accelerated cracking The Solution This must-use plugin replaces WordPress's password hashing system with: - ✅ Argon2i - Winner of Password Hashing Competition (2015) - ✅ SHA-512 HMAC - Additional layer of protection - ✅ Automatic migration - Rehashes old passwords on login - ✅ Zero configuration - Drop in and forget - ✅ Backward compatible - Works with existing WordPress user system Key Features 🔐 Modern Cryptography - Argon2i algorithm - Memory-hard hashing designed to resist GPU attacks - SHA-512 HMAC - Adds salt-based message authentication - Native PHP functions - No external dependencies, uses PHP's passwordhash() 🔄 Seamless Migration - Automatically detects old MD5 hashes - Rehashes passwords when users login - No manual migration needed - Maintains backward compatibility d
