Frequently Asked Questions
Is MD5 secure for passwords?
No! MD5 has known collision vulnerabilities. Use bcrypt or Argon2 for passwords, and SHA-256 for secure checksums.
Is MD5 secure?
No, MD5 is vulnerable to collision attacks and should only be used as a checksum for file integrity, not security.
