Wordpress - How can I change the default wordpress password hashing system to something custom?
Just figured it out. So thought to leave the solution here, if someone else need it:
To change the default hashing system, need to overwrite wp_hash_password() function: (can be done in a plugin)
if ( !function_exists('wp_hash_password') ){
function wp_hash_password($password) {
//apply your own hashing structure here
return $password;
}
}
Now you will need to overwrite wp_check_password() to match your hashing structure: (can be done in a plugin as well)
if ( !function_exists('wp_check_password') ){
function wp_check_password($password, $hash, $user_id = '') {
//check for your hash match
return apply_filters('check_password', $check, $password, $hash, $user_id);
}
}
Please check wp_check_password
