In this course, you will learn why plaintext passwords, encryption, and plain hashes are security measures that should not be used. In each lesson, you will learn why these password storage techniques increase your risk for a cyber attack. Beyond that, you’ll also learn how to fix them to create a more secure login experience.

By the end of this course, you will have a strong understanding of password security, and you will be better equipped to create web apps that users trust.

Password Security: How not to Store Passwords

We've looked at several password storage approaches that are best forgotten. However, hopefully, you're now armed with arguments against them and a plan to replace them. The main thing to remember is that users are trusting you to store their passwords safely, so it's important to do it right. It's really not that hard to do right; it's mostly a matter of calling the right libraries.
