## Description

The “MB Challenge response authentication” plugin extends the
 default WordPress
authentication with a challenge response authentication. This ensures that passwords
during login are no longer stored in the clear text during the login process.

Via a menu item in the administration you can also set whether the challenge response
authentication should be enforced or not. If challenge response authentication is
not enforced
 the default WordPress authentication is allowed as fallback. This 
is the case if a user cannot hash on the client side.

Furthermore, the default WordPress hasher is overridden and PHP native functions
like password_hash and password_verify are used.

### Credits

Special thanks to the developers of the
 bcrypt.js library https://github.com/dcodeIO/
bcrypt.js. The library is used for client-side hashing.
