Which is a better encryption algorithm for user passwords? SHA1, SHA2, MD5, BCrypt, or something else? Typical web application.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

M$If you don't want to do that, use MD5 that is secure and simple.
But if you want to decrypt the passwords, use a two-way encryption. In this case, I prefer the Rijndael algorithm.

M$If this method is good for your pourpose I would suggest SHA2.
BCrypt is more a suite of encryption algorithms. And works quite well in many fields.
Talking about true encriyption , most famous ones are RSA , AES , DES and TWOFISH.
