# Insecure hashing algorithm md2

> **insecure-hashing-algorithm-md2**
>
> The use of the MD2 hashing algorithm was identified which is considered insecure. MD2 is not collision resistant and is therefore not suitable for cryptographic or secure use-cases. Use stronger algorithms such as SHA256, SHA512, or adaptive hashing algorithms such as argon2 or bcrypt.\
