- jjacobson 15y agoI'm not on the team that handles passwords so can't comment. Sorry.
- dave1619 15y agoHmmm, please ask the team that handles passwords and let us know.
- manmal 15y agoWhat do you mean by "the salt is secure"? Hidden in code files vs. stored next to the hashed password?
- troll24601 15y agoI apologize if my question was unclear; that's almost certainly because of a lack of expertise on my side. On one end of the spectrum, I envision the same salt used for every user, allowing for the easy and effective creation of rainbow tables. On the other end, I envision unique salts with many bits of entropy for each user, making rainbow tables technologically infeasible.
