Understanding Password Hashing: Protect Your Data Effectively 🔐

Why You Should Never Encrypt Passwords 🔐

Encryption can be decrypted – and that’s a problem.

Instead, you need a one-way hashing algorithm.

🤔 How Does It Work?

Remember learning long division in second grade? Think of it this way:

7 ÷ 3 = 2 R 1

If I told you the answer is "2 remainder 1," you can't determine the original numbers. It could be:

13 ÷ 6 = 2 R 1

This concept is similar to password hashing but with much larger numbers and complex math.

Once hashed, you can't reverse it to find the original password.

So, keep your data secure. Hash, don’t encrypt!
