Preguntas frecuentes
Why hash passwords instead of encrypting them?
Hashing is one-way — even if the database is breached, attackers can't reverse the hash. Encryption is two-way and requires a key that could also be stolen.
What's the minimum recommended password length?
NIST recommends at least 8 characters, but 16+ characters with mixed types provides much stronger security against brute-force attacks.
