Is SHA1 better than MD5 only because it generates a hash of 160 bits?
There are devastating collision attacks on MD5. (The Wikipedia article on MD5 has some details.) … But certainly don't use MD5 in any setting where collision-resistance is needed, as that aspect of MD5 is completely broken. …

Yes, that's a pretty good approximation. The difference between the two is modest; in both cases, if users' password hashes are compromised, it is likely that an attacker will be able to recover many …
