Thanks for the reply, the problem though is if you crypt the current
password it does not turn out like the encrypted password above. I get
different results when using the function from the link you provided. This
is the password I get when I encrypt the same password in the original
email:
$1$34201110$1qOlP6BW44jKvA66l7q7F0
and if I refresh it:
$1$20202818$O9l6HCdGD19SqriwI8F4k0
That's expected. The first 11 (or so) characters are random data called the "salt". The actual password (encoded using the salt) appears after the salt.
This is done to make it more difficult to build a dictionary of encrypted passwords. Any given cleartext password can have a large number of possible encrypted versions.
