What is your definition of cracked? Collisions are easy to produce; there's one right on the Wikipedia page.


Collisions are not interesting. Millions of leaked passwords hashed with MD4/MD5 are of very practical interest.


Ok, preimage resistance is still pretty strong, but it has been reduced enough that I wouldn't trust it remaining above practical attacks beyond the next decade.


If you use the same password on different sites despite password managers and now passkeys you are asking for it.
