MD5 security is fine? [closed]

by

For storing passwords no fast hash function which include md5 and SHA1/2 (even when salted) is acceptable. You need to use a slow hash, typically in the form of a Key-Derivation-Function to slow down brute-force. PBKDF2 and bcrypt are popular choices. You should also use a random per user salt.
