Is it necessary to use bcrypt For my website ?
I think If you're talking about the password hashing algorithm bcrypt, the main difference is that md5 is designed to be fast, and bcrypt is designed to be slow. This makes it harder for an attacker to brute-force a password. Bcrypt has been around since the late 90s and has handled significant scrutiny by the information security/cryptography community. It has proven reliable and secure over time.

According to some MD5 has been cryptographically broken and considered insecure. For this reason, it should not be used for anything. Instead, developers should switch to the Secure Hash Algorithm or a Symmetric Cryptographic Algorithm.
