(Serious question) why don't people just use firefox Sync or Chrome password store? Why worry about all these? In both cases passwords are salted+encrypted and uploaded.
- Buge 11y agoFirefox Sync and Chrome password store are for users storing passwords. They are not hashed (because that would make it impossible to log into a site, because you need the actual password to log in, and a hash is irreversible). I don't know what you mean by salted, because as far as I know, salts are only used with hashes and these are not hashed. Bcrypt, scrypt, and argon2 are for server storage of login information. The server does not store the actual password, it just stores a hash.
