This is for backwards compatibility. If you checked it again after you login, you'd find that it is not an MD5 password anymore. WordPress uses salted and hashed passwords with the phpass library, and has since version 2.5, released in 2008. Prior to that, it used MD5 passwords. As part of the conversion process, it detects an MD5 password in the database on login, and then hashes the password to the newer salted mechanism, overwriting the MD5 version in the database. |
