Is the plugin provided there popular and up to date? If not, what would be a popular and up to date plugin (Safe as well, no one wants their users passwords to be hacked)

There are no plugins used on that tutorial, other than the include; y_ini (created by ******).
And no, the hashing method used on that tutorial is outdated and unsafe.

Use Whirlpool instead (salt hashing etc... 99% safe on my point of view)

Why bother loading an entire plugin if there's a viable native alternative. I feel this function is terribly underused. Not saying that Whirlpool is bad, but since the SHA2 function got added it kind of feels obsolete now.

Didn't knew about that, Looking forward to use it @thank you for informing me Vince

Thanks guys, I guess I will use the native alternative, but I do not know how it works and I have 0 knowledge in data security, I do not know how to implement such a system and I do not know how to setup a database, I tried to search but all of the tutorials I found do not explain it very well.
