in thread crypt function has string length limit?

SHA1 is thought to be a more-secure algorithm than MD5

A prison consisting of a dry paper bag is more secure that one consisting of a wet paper bag but neither of them is sufficient to stop a criminal escaping. Nobody should be using either SHA1 or MD5 for any remotely important crytographic purpose in 2017 and your advice to use it is either ignorant, incompetent or sociopathic.
