protected function PhpassHashedPassword::crypt

Hash a password using a secure stretched hash.

By using a salt and repeated hashing the password is "stretched". Its security is increased because it becomes much more computationally costly for an attacker to try to break the hash by brute-force computation of the hashes of a large number of plain-text words or strings to find a match.

Parameters

String $algo: The string name of a hashing algorithm usable by hash(), like 'sha256'.

String $password: The plain-text password to hash.

String $setting: An existing hash or the output of $this->generateSalt(). Must be at least 12 characters (the settings and salt).

Return value

String A string containing the hashed password (and salt) or FALSE on failure. The return string will be truncated at HASH_LENGTH characters max.
