Where can developers find resources and guidelines for securely storing and verifying passwords in PHP applications?

To securely store and verify passwords in PHP applications, developers should use password hashing functions like password_hash() and password_verify(). These functions ensure that passwords are securely hashed before being stored in a database and can be easily verified during the login process. 

// Hashing a password before storing it in the database
$password = 'password123';
$hashed_password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

// Verifying a password during the login process
$login_password = 'password123';
if (password_verify($login_password, $hashed_password)) {
    echo 'Password is correct!';
} else {
    echo 'Password is incorrect!';
}
