Hashing would make the content irretrievable; something like XORing with the password would make the password recoverable if you know the content.

- krisoft 5y agoXORing with the password sounds just splendid :D Caesar is asking for his cipher back. That method wouldn't stop a determined 12 year old, let alone a competent attacker. Please use a properly engineered and implemented encryption instead of coming up with harebrained schemes.
- entelechy0 5y agoRight, which is why you would never XOR in this manner, and would hash instead. You don't want the password or content retrievable that easily.
