PHP in Visual Studio Code: PASSWORD hashing and verification

In this video I will show you how to do password hashing and verification in PHP using Visual Studio Code.

It is always best practice to hash or encrypt you plain-text passwords before you save them to your database.

Staring with PHP 5.5, you can use a very easy way to do password hashing. You can do that by using the password_hash funcion.

Hashing in this way, is called one way hashing, as you cannot de-hash or decrypt the password, you can just hash or encrypt it.

You can only verify if the password matches a hash, using the password_verify function.
