Description
Hashed Password File
The Hashed Password File securely stores user credentials by applying cryptographic hash functions, preventing unauthorized access to plaintext passwords.
Problem It Solves
Storing plaintext passwords poses a security risk. Hashing ensures that passwords remain protected even if the file is compromised.
About the Code
The file contains password hashes generated using secure algorithms like bcrypt, SHA-256, or Argon2, often with a salt for added security.
Customization
Users can implement different hashing algorithms and adjust security policies.
Usage
1. Hash passwords before storage.
2. Store hashes securely in a restricted file.
3. Use salt to strengthen security.
4. Implement secure authentication mechanisms.
5. Regularly update and audit hashing methods.
