This package is used to **replace** Laravel default hash to support the old system that used MD5 for password hash.

> **Warning**Please use it at your own risk, since MD5 is not recommended to be used as a password hash.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), just run this command below.

```
composer require matriphe/laravel-md5-hash
```

For Laravel < 6, [please use version 1.1.1](https://github.com/matriphe/laravel-md5-hash/tree/1.1.1) and follow the configuration instruction.

```
composer require matriphe/laravel-md5-hash:1.1.1
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

This package uses auto-discovery. Once it got installed, it will automatically replace the hash function to use MD5.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Now you can use the built-in hash function using this command.

```
Hash::make('password'); // return 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
bcrypt('password'); // return 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
```
