comment Does naming sensitive things discreetly provide protection?
Thanks, I was thinking more about web scripting languages which are not compiled so the variables names would be apparent. "It isthe algorithm which will determine how secure your solution is, not what names you use for variables." that sums it up nicely!

comment In this example why do they hash a randomly generated piece of salt before hashing it with the password?
@martinstoeckli ok I get it now, I thought the remainder of the entire hash after the last $ was only 22 characters.

@martinstoeckli but how does password_verify() extract the salt from the saved hash value when a random salt was used to generate it?

@martinstoeckli thanks but that's not what I was asking. I'm asking how password_verify() works since password_hash() gives different output for the same input?

How does password_verify() work when the salt used is random and not stored anywhere? Does the first 6 characters in the hash value (e.g. $2y$11$) determine the salt that was being used?

Well that was quite the conundrum.

@CodesInChaos I installed the package but am confused because I get a different hash value for the same input. Is this expected? If yes how do I check the password next time the user wants to log in?
