Using MD5 encryption for passwords

Encrypting* a password with MD5 converts it into a 32 digit hexadecimal number that is difficult to decrypt.

Logging in to a password-protected page is done using the actual password (unencrypted) but the system encrypts it and compares it with the stored encrypted version. Using MD5 encryption for password-protected web pages is much more secure. The actual password should still be hard to 'guess' - not a memorable word but a meaningless mix of normal characters, eg:

n38Es5j4h57wHLsoM2y

Mix both upper and lower case letters with numerals.

*MD5 is actually a cryptographic hash function, not 'encryption' as such.
