It is written by [roots.io people](https://roots.io/plugins/bcrypt-password/). This plugin requires PHP >= 5.5.0 which introduced the built-in [`password_hash`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php) and [`password_verify`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-verify.php) functions. See [Improving WordPress Password Security](https://roots.io/improving-wordpress-password-security/) for more background on this plugin and the password hashing issue. == Installation == 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/password-bcrypt` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = Manual installation as a must-use plugin = If you don't use Composer, you can manually copy `wp-password-bcrypt.php` into your `mu-plugins` folder. We **do not** recommend using this as a normal (non-MU) plugin. It makes it too easy to disable or remove the plugin. == Changelog == = 1.0.3 = * Check for another password plugin. = 1.0.2 = * Added license file, excuse me. = 1.0.1 = * This is the WordPress-stlye version of the original [roots wp-password-bcrypt](https://github.com/roots/wp-password-bcrypt) plugin
