Re: [PHP] Best way to store login data? From: SenthilVelavan (senthilvellan <email protected>)

Hello Leif,
                My opinion is
1.First do md5 encoding for passwords.
2.Store the username and encoded passwords in database as well as in two
cookies.
Note : But storing the passwords in a cookie is a security issue.
