Password Hashing Best Practices
Why proper password storage matters for security
Always Use a Salt
Salting adds random data to passwords before hashing, preventing rainbow table attacks and ensuring identical passwords produce different hashes.
Use Key Stretching
Algorithms like PBKDF2, bcrypt, and Argon2 apply multiple iterations to slow down brute-force attacks, making password cracking computationally expensive.
Avoid Plain SHA
Plain SHA-256/512 hashes are fast to compute, making them vulnerable to brute-force attacks. Always prefer PBKDF2, bcrypt, or Argon2 for password storage.
