It's trivial to [bruteforce](http://dev.kohanaframework.org/issues/3163) publicly hidden salt hashes. - I've fixed this by switching the password hashing algorithm to the more secure secret-key based hash\_hmac method. 2. ORM drivers were included. - I've fixed this by simply removing them. They cause confusion with new users because they think that Auth requires ORM. The only driver currently provided by default is the file driver. 3. Auth::get\_user()'s api is inconsistent because it returns different data types. - I've fixed this by returning an empty user model by default. You can override what gets returned (if you've changed your user model class name for instance) by overloading the get\_user() method in your application. These changes should be merged into the mainline branch eventually, but they completely break the API, so likely won't be done until 3.1. ### Health Score 44 — FairBetter than 92% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity48 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community37 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
