 > Hi,

 > I've just written a plugin which allows storing passwords in a way that
 is compatible with HTTP digest (see http://www.monperrus.net/martin/wp-
 http-digest). The advantages of this approach is that it enables me to
 build services using HTTP digest authentication on top of standard
 wordpress accounts.
