🔑 Most systems hash it, turning your password into a fixed string of gibberish that can’t be reversed.
🧂 But they also salt it, adding a random value before hashing to make each password unique, even if two people use the same one.

Without salting, hackers can crack massive lists of passwords with precomputed tables.
With it, those tables are useless.

It’s one of the most important, and overlooked ideas in cybersecurity.
