- LouisSayers 4y agoKnowing hashes alone wouldn't allow you to do this normally - usually you use a "salt" during the hashing process which would lead to different hashes with the same password. Without doing the OP's "trick" however, if you somehow managed to get a hashed and salted password then it still wouldn't be enough to gain access to someone's account.
