I like that 'salt' idea too. Very clever. :o) Richard, I'm assuming since you've seemed not to have a problem with any of the replies to your questions, that you *are* running CF7. If anyone reading this is *NOT* running CF7 and are still on CF5, CF6 or CF6.1 then you can find hashing UDFs at CFLib.org. It looks like SHA-256 <http://cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=406> is the strongest one they've got.
Just an FYI for the rest of us poor sods not running the latest and greatest. ;o) Cheers, Chris Richard White wrote: > thanks James, i like the idea of the automatically generated one.
