273	[patch] Password salt and other algorithms support	dmh@…	Adrian Holovaty	"The auth_users database table uses a field called password_md5 to hold passwords.  However, if found, MD5 hashes can be broken pretty quickly with Rainbow Tables.

Could you please consider using SHA-512 encryption instead, perhaps with a varchar(128) field called ""password_sha512""?

All the best,

Dave Hodder"	enhancement	closed	Core (Other)		normal	fixed		gomo@…	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
