I imagine the OP probably meant that and simply wrote the wrong thing in the post. I probably wouldn't have noticed it was the wrong wording if not for this comment chain.



The only acceptable advice in this situation is "use bcrypt". Vague stuff about "hashing or encrypting" is not good enough.


Wait, what about "scrypt"? Maybe the only acceptable advice changed in the last hour? :-)


Bcrypt is a very easy to use hashing tool that exists in all popular languages. It is the best choice, and the easiest to implement.
