Hey there! Glad you like it. Sure, I can explain the password hashing part.

In PHP, you can use the password_hash() function to hash passwords securely. It's important to use a strong algorithm like PASSWORD_DEFAULT. Here's a basic example:

```php
$password = 'mysecretpassword';
$hashedPassword = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
```

This will generate a strong hash of the password.

When a user enters their password, you can then compare it to the stored hash using the password_verify() function:

```php
$enteredPassword = 'mysecretpassword';
if (password_verify($enteredPassword, $hashedPassword)) {
// Password matches
} else {
// Password does not match
}
```

It's essential to use password hashing to protect users' passwords. Never store passwords in plain text!

Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy coding!
