Il-passwords għandhom jiġu maħżuna b'mod sigur — qatt mhux f'test ordinarju, iżda hashate b'algoritmu qawwi, bil-bless, u milsaltat għall-hashing tal-passwords (bcrypt, Argon2, scrypt). L-immaniġġjar korrett tal-passwords huwa kritiċi għaliex il-brekks tal-passwords huma estremament ħażina u komuni.
Qatt ma taħżen test ordinarju; hashate sew
❌ NEVER store passwords in plaintext (a breach exposes all passwords directly)
❌ Don't use fast/general hashes (MD5, SHA-256) alone — too fast → easily brute-forced
✅ HASH with a dedicated PASSWORD HASHING algorithm: BCRYPT, ARGON2, or scrypt:
→ SLOW by design (resistant to brute-force/GPU cracking)
→ SALTED (a unique random salt per password) → prevents rainbow-table attacks and
identical passwords hashing the same
