Thanks! By the way, here's how I was able to use user_pass_ok() outside of Wordpress:

Code:: define( 'ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/../web/' ); // directory of WordPress require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-load.php'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-includes/wp-db.php'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-includes/cache.php'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-includes/formatting.php'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-includes/pluggable.php'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-includes/plugin.php'); require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-includes/user.php'); if (user_pass_ok("test", "test")) { echo "good password"; } else { echo "bad password"; } ?>

Thanks for the excellent question.

You can use the "user_pass_ok()" function.

In other words:

md5 of "test":
098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6
^^ this is easy to test for -- just do md5("test")

wordpress/s2member hash of "test":
$P$BMr8jTPjHHOl0g/P6OtOeT/fZZr71y0
^^ how do I test this password?

thanks..

How is the password hashed?

2011-03-29T22:00:56-05:00

Hi,

I was wondering how to check the password stored in the `user_pass` field in the 'wp_users' database table. It doesn't appear to be a normal md5 hash. I want to be able to check the passwords so I could use the same users from s2member to login via software. Thanks.

Dave
