You could use something that's harder to brute force. Bcrypt has been designed so that it handles salts and is / can be configured to be very slow to run. Even if your database is compromised then, they still take quite a while to crack the password - several orders of magnitude more time depending on the bcrypt work factor you use.

If your script fails after a few hours of not receiving XMPP messages you might want to make sure your database connection doesn't drop.

I've got a little article on this at http://barkingiguana.com/20...
