$N$salt$encryptedpassword

The N is a single digit which indicates the type of encryption used where
N=1 indicates MD5. This is easy to crack (not secure) and is very short.
N=5 indicates an SHA-256 password. This is much better (fewer passwords will produce the targeted encrypted password), and harder to crack.
N=6 indicates an SHA-512 password. Double the length of SHA-256, these passwords are very time-consuming to crack.
