    initial v125  
    66
    77Thus I would propose to change in wp-includes/pluggable.php all occurances of
    8 
     8{{{
    99$wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(8, true);
    10 
     10}}}
    1111to
    12 
     12{{{
    1313$wp_hasher = new PasswordHash(8, apply_filters('phpass_compatibility_mode', true));
    14 
     14}}}
    1515This would allow users to easily change via plugin from the "not so secure" compatibility mode (only salted MD5) of phpass to a more secure setting (bcrypt) in case no compatibility with other applications is required.
    1616
    1717The plugin changing the encryption methog could then as easy as
    18 
     18{{{
    1919function phpass_bcrypt() {
    2020        return false;
    2121}
    2222add_filter('phpass_compatibility_mode', 'phpass_bcrypt');
     23}}}
