Doesn't matter how fast GPUs are, they only get linearly faster. Passwords are exponential in terms of difficulty so assuming your password isn't password123 no GPU in the world is going to crack a 'decent' password in a decade on any modern algorithm memory-intensive or not.
- tialaramex 6y agoIt is unfortunate that manjalyc has been downvoted here :( If you use unique strong random passwords like those typically chosen by a password store (e.g. 24 alphanumerics) it doesn't matter what password hash is used, it doesn't even matter whether salt was used, because there's no chance anybody else has the same one. For example here is simple MD5() of a password I use every day, you have no idea what it is, and even very powerful MD5 "reversing" tools won't help you change that. f72ffd77701fba433394548eedca5fd0 Good password hashes somewhat protect people who chose bad passwords. They're a mitigation. Your users will choose bad passwords so you need to use a password hash in software you build, but if you never use bad passwords you needn't care whether this or that site used a good hash since it has no impact on your security.
