Why is this an appropriate method?

Last Updated on August 20, 2021 by Admin 3

Some passwords are stored using specialized encryption algorithms known as hashes. Why is this an appropriate method?

  • It is impossible to crack hashed user passwords unless the key used to encrypt them is obtained.
  • If a user forgets the password, it can be easily retrieved using the hash key stored by administrators.
  • Hashing is faster compared to more traditional encryption algorithms.
  • Passwords stored using hashes are non-reversible, making finding the password much more difficult.
