Happy World Password Day! Maybe it's finally time to kill this holiday in favor of World No-More-Passwords Day?

    I mean, yeah. MD5 blows for this. It’s not like programs recommend you keep an MD5 hash of people’s passwords on disk or in environment variables, right Perforce?

      Yeah using MD5 at this point is really indefensible and has been for years.

      Yeah, unsalted MD5 has been crackable easily for at least 20 years now. 🤣
