Is there a reason why this is notably different? Why can't the password be hashed to get the fixed length key?
- viraptor 6y agoYes, it's a pretty standard approach. I can't even recall anything that uses passwords directly these days. Mostly due to world relying mainly on aes where you have to derive the key.
