Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.password-verify
---
The documentation for the hash_verify() function (http://php.net/manual/en/function.hash-equals.php) clearly states that it is a "Timing attack safe string comparison".

The documentation for password_verify() should indicate whether it is or is not vulnerable to timing based attacks.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
