Frequently asked questions
Is MD5 still safe for cryptographic password hashing?
No. MD5 is vulnerable to collision attacks and should not be used for security-critical password storage. However, it remains fast and useful for file integrity checks and non-security checksums.
How do I generate a Gravatar email hash with MD5?
