No I'm saying its useless if you use basic methods. As said before even the SHA-1 with salt can be broken, its just very HARD. So don't think there's no point then to using encryption, there is, I just don't want anyone here thinking anything is safe. Because its not, make sure you use a clever method thats all, and don't do silly things.
How many hackers will want to brute force crack a SHA-1 string just to gain access to a small website? None, if you have more important data I would go talk to someone with the latest knowhow of cryptography.
