For all registered users.

Use the term "cracking" for hashes, pls.

I respectfully ask all registered users to use correct cryptographic terms.
This is a professional site. The use of misleading terms results in more people adopting their use.
Encryption-decryption is not the same as the hashing function.

Encryption: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption
Hash function: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function
You should read it, highly recommended: https://www.techsolvency.com/passwords/dehashing-reversing-decrypting/

Thank you for your cooperation.
