A common problem in PHP is creating cryptographically secure tokens for user authentication. Think "remember me" and password reset features. Functions like rand(), mt_rand() and uniqid() simply aren't enough. And, without "resource-improbable" tokens... it's only a matter of time for a hacker to break your authentication and get int your application.

Fortunately, PHP 5.6 and 7 have added the necessary functions for us to creating cryptographically secure tokens, prevent timing attacks and mitigate data hacks. That latest in all this in this episode.
