Salting password with the first 8 bit of the password itself Yes, I know. That is the reason that his method is not good enough, not as this answer claims because the salt will be stored plain text and therefore revealing information of the password. So I would advise you to change your answer. It does not deserve to be the top voted at this time. |

Salting password with the first 8 bit of the password itself I think you make the completely flawed assumption that @Mohamed wants to store the salt as plain text. The reason a salt is stored plain text, is that it is necessary when calculating the hash for a given password. If the password is given (for calculating the hash), the salt is automatically there, i.e. no need to store it! |
