Description
WordPress is a well known open source CMS (Content Management System) that is used by millions of people worldwide. It’s popular due to its simple user interface and abundance of themes and plugins. WordPress themes enable users to instantly modify the appearance/design of their website without any coding knowledge, and they may also be used to enhance WordPress functionality. WordPress passwords are kept in databases as hashes for security reasons, which means they are not stored in plain text format because an attacker may quickly read all user passwords if the WordPress site is hacked. That is why the WordPress engine employs a sophisticated hashing method to produce a unique hash for each password, ensuring that an attacker cannot read it even if he has access to the site database.
