got a tricky one here, so here goes.
I have a hosted php app that posts from my script to peoples blogs.
To do so, I need a username / password for their blog.
Some people have 200+ blogs. This script is designed for ppl with vast numbers of blogs and no desire to retype their password (or indeed even remember it) every time they want to post to one of their blogs.
The problem is that normally I would salt / hash the password, but in this case, I can't think of a way of doing anything one way - and therefore safe.
Encryption appears to be the only solution, but that is very insecure by todays standards. I don't need a Sony PSN issue on my hands!
I would advise anyone using this script to create a dedicated user / pass combo, but ppl are lazy and would use their admin credentials. And then promptly blame me for any problems.
For the record this is not a spam script. Its for affiliate marketers.
Any help gratefully appreciated, I cannot fathom this one. And it's kinda show stopper.
