How to Use BCrypt to Store Passwords Securely: A Guide to Hashing Best Practices

Plain text passwords are a big no-no. Hashed passwords are better, but not safe enough. Salted passwords are even better, but where do you store the salt? And what if faster computers can crack your hashing algorithm?

In this video, I will show you the ultimate solution to all these problems: bcrypt. It is an industry-proven method to store hashed passwords with their salt and algorithm in one place.
