Ya, I’m not sure why, but inserting the MD5 password via mysql doesn’t work.
I did play around with using the wp_hash_password() function to try to hash the password, and I do get a hash that looks right, but I may be missing a piece of the puzzle, because I get multiple hashes for the same password.
I know there is a random number used in the encryption process, but i’m not sure how that fits into the big picture.
I am actually looking to do exactly the same thing as renwickcentre, and the md5 suggestion doesn’t work.
I am still digging…
Has anyone come up with a definite answer as to what encryption method is being used in WordPress 2.8 + ? I have been reading around the forums, and I have found some discussion on the issue, but no definite answers.
Alls I know is, it definitely does not appear to be MD5.
