Frequently asked questions
- Is MD5 secure for passwords?
- No. MD5 has collision vulnerabilities. Use Bcrypt, Scrypt, or Argon2 for passwords.
- Can MD5 be decrypted?
- No, but rainbow tables can reverse simple passwords. This is why MD5 is unsuitable for passwords.
- What is MD5 still used for?
- Data integrity checks, file checksums, version control - non-security scenarios where speed matters.
- MD5 vs SHA?
- MD5: 128-bit, faster, insecure. SHA-256: 256-bit, secure, collision-resistant.
- Can two files have same MD5?
- Yes (collision). Use SHA-256 for security-sensitive applications.
