How to implement cryptographically-protected passwords with PHP?

What the video will cover:

  2. int_random is available since PHP 7. Benefits of using a cryptographically secure function in comparison with mt_random()
  3. When dealing with password, it’s very important to use a “cryptographically secure” like random_int() with PHP >=7.0 or random_compat for PHP 5.6 and older versions.
