Tips to keep passwords safe

  • If you are storing passwords in a database, use bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2.
  • If you insist on using MD5 or SHA algorithms to hash password at a minimum use a salt.
  • One goal when thinking of the hashing algorithm is to make it extremely difficult and time consuming for a threat actor to brute-force your password(s).
  • Make 2FA mandatory.
