 * Hello,
 * I cannot find any information or assistance on this issue.
 * I have WP 3.0 running in a custom template. My client needed a new page outside
   of the template which I am happy to accommodate, however, the page requires authorization
   of their current WP users. In the past I have been able to share the user table
   for authorization but now that they’ve converted from strict MD5 to this new 
   PHPass (wp-includes/class-phpclass.php), I can no longer hash/encrypt a password
   to match what is in the database. I did read somewhere that I could convert back
   to MD5 but my client does not want to do this as they prefer the extra level 
   of PHPass security. I do as well.
 * My question is, how do I hash/encrypt a password from a form to match the password
   in the database in this new PHPass method?
 * Thank you so much, I hope someone can help me.

 * Same problem here… I looked at the code but it’s not easy. Everytime I use the
   wp_hash_password function, it returns me a different password.
