I have read about using MySQL AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT (two-way encryption) is less secure than using PHP - hash() (one-way encryption).http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/831748-how-use-aes_encrypt-aes_decryptIs it true that it is more secure that 'Rather than send the User his password, simply send him a link that he can click on to reset his password, instead.'?And on top of that, if I am using MySQL AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT (which I quite keen on...), how do I define the key which can be accepted by MySQL? for instance, is the length of the key important? or can I simple use '123123@123123' as my key?thanks!
