It's also not recommended to use md5() to encrypt passwords: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.passwor...s.fasthash

You need to hash and encrypt the password before you send it to the database!
When checking the entered password you need to do the same when checking it from the database.

Code:

// --------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * _hash_password()
     *
     * Hashs and encrypts the users password using the set
         * config encryption key.
     *
     * @access    private
     * @param    string    - $password
     * @return    string
     */
    private function _hash_password($password)
    {
        return sha1($password . $this->config->item('encryption_key'));
    }
