Flex MD5 / SHA1-256 Password encoder

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 28 Feb 2010 in Adobe Flex/Air | 11 comments

I build a lot of Flex Applications on PhP / MySQL Backends. Now these PhP backends most of the time check if the users has the correct rights for e.g. opening a database or getting some data or what ever.

When a new user of the Flex or AIR application want’s to change their password or create a new user with password I triggerd a nice little php password create script that makes a nice MD5 (with salt) password out of the given readable password.
