MD5 Is not secure, since while you can most likely never find the original word that made the hash, you can of course create another word with the same hash. The only reason it is secure at all and used so often online is the simple fact that they don't know WHAT that hash is, they have nothing to create a collision with.
The most secure type of encryption you can do is one thats based off a register of random atmospheric data and a known cipher, like a keyword.

So you can have multiple words with the same hash? and only one word with the same md5??
Or I'm misunderstanding something?

Several different words will have the same MD5 hash. MD5 is a type of hash.

Ow, ok I thought he was talking about a different hash from the md5, because first he started with md5 and then continued with hash...
