Hi,
So, what do you consider the correct way of storing a password?
I'm looking a writing a little database app for a reason to code, it's a simple reference app that pulls insurers that cover odd items.
Password will be stored in a MySQL database table but I know enough that basic text isn't the right way, I've heard MD5 isn't exactly secure either.
Am I better off relying on the database to encrypt it or would using something in the software itself be the best way of encrypting and decrypting and just use the dbase for storage?
I'm looking at a Python app saved as an exe so I'm aware Python can show code.
Help
