What are the security concerns associated with using Majordomo passwords in PHP scripts?

Using Majordomo passwords in PHP scripts can pose a security risk if the passwords are stored in plain text within the script. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended to store passwords securely, such as using hashing algorithms like bcrypt, and never store passwords in plain text.

// Example of securely storing and verifying Majordomo password using bcrypt

// Store password securely
$hashedPassword = password_hash($majordomoPassword, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

// Verify password
if (password_verify($inputPassword, $hashedPassword)) {
    // Password is correct
} else {
    // Password is incorrect
}
