Why Google is Hurrying the Web to Kill SHA-1

This is quite interesting, and a fair move by Google imo.

We could implement it into SMF. Just wrap another hashing algo around sha1 and hash all passwords :D

And what hash would that be?
I suggest sha1, covered with double md5 [emoji1]

There is already sha-2
If you can't explain it to a 6 year old, you don't understand it yourself.
