Compa Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Hi, Does anyone know how mta encrypts passwords? I can't find anything about it on the forum. I need to make the same encryption in PHP.
codeluaeveryday Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 MD5 is not a good idea for your needs, you should use the Sha256, that's as secure as they get. I hope MTA updates to sha256/
TAPL Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 MTA now already use sha256. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Sha256 https://bugs.multitheftauto.com/view.php?id=6321
Compa Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, sha256 more better than md5. Is sha256 default for password encryption in future versions of MTA?
TAPL Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, sha256 more better than md5. Is sha256 default for password encryption in future versions of MTA? Yes, it's used from ver 1.3.1 r4828

Yes, it's used from ver 1.3.1 r4828 I'm currently using 1.3.1., my version is using md5. Would it lead to problems if i update to 1.3.2? Am i getting a mix of password encryptions?
Castillo Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 I'm not sure, but I think the MTA will update all the passwords to sha256 when you update your server version.
