Why bother?
-----------

[](#why-bother)

There's a few advantages to handling encryption and password hashing via objects.

- if you use PHPUnit or Mockery, you'll find it a lot easier to mock pass/fail results.
- all of these have tests, so you don't have to write any for basic encryption, simplifying development.
- it helps dependency injection-led development by abstracting away the details of encryption implementation
- swapping out one form of encryption for another should be fairly easy (so long as you also update your data)

The Dos and Don'ts of Passwords
-------------------------------

[](#the-dos-and-donts-of-passwords)

- don't use the username of a user as these aren't globally unique and allow for rainbow table attacks.
