Salting Technique
Mostly all of us know, no company stores the password as it is in their database, they use different techniques of encryption and hash the plain text to store that specific password in their database.
In this way, the password changes its plain text format to hash format and then stores it in the database so that when a hacker tries to hack a database, they won't get the original password in plain text.
So these MNC’s and other companies hash the password.
As an increase in security, the SALTING process is also being added.
Password salting is a technique to protect passwords stored in databases by adding a string of 32 or more characters and then hashing them. Salting prevents hackers who breach an enterprise environment from reverse-engineering passwords and stealing them from the database.
After this salting process, it would be a little more difficult to grab the password of a user or an organization.
