Awesome article! I'm sure that's going to help a lot of people.

But WordPress doesn't use MD5 since MD5 is easy to crack. WordPress is using Portable PHP password hashing framework. Here you have more details about that:

Other than that the article is great and the information will probably help a lot of developers that are just beginning. Thanks for writing it!
