nah, sha-256 is fine, though you should pick something stronger than "password"

Don't worry I don't use that for my internet bank: 19513FDC9DA4FB72A4A05EB66917548D3C90FF94D5419E1F2363EEA89DFEE1DD

well, "Password1" is slightly better, I'll make sure not to tell anyone.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I paid an independent IT security consultant lot of money to help me come up with it - so I don't want to have to change it.
