> Currently passwords are encrypted using the sha1() php function and stored in the db as sha1. The actual encryption occurs in the User::validatePassword() function. This seems to be wrong. I am not sure if there was a good reason to put it there but I would assume somewhere else would be more appropriate. I was thinking User::update() and User::insert() overwriting. Or possibly a MySQL builtin hashing function but then we are again suseptible to MySQL algorithm changes!
