bcrypt or md5 ?

[Yogesh Agrawal]

Which is more preferable to save password in DB, bcrypt or md5 ?

I found https://github.com/ncb000gt/node.bcrypt.js/ lib, which is a addon to node.js to encrypt the passwords.

Also I found that md5 based hashing is not too safe to store passwords in DB.

brcypt.

md5 is not secure at all.
