    Hello cjtannu,
    thank you for helping me, I searched through all the Web!

    Hello Drawnserp,

    Can you make it as a single function ? I wish to create Sign Up page from my own site and allow users to login to wordpress also.. Is it possible to use any single function for password encryption & checking ?

    Thank You.

    Are you meaning the MD5 encryption that wordpress uses to encrypt the passwords? I know when I forgot my password I used a site that converts plain text into MD5 encrypted strings and I simply copied and pasted this MD5 string into my database and it reset my password.
