Store passwords with salt
Summary
The system must store passwords with different key derivations (salt).
Description
The use of salts introduces an extra layer of complexity for attackers attempting to crack password hashes. This requirement is a fundamental practice for protecting user credentials, mitigating common attack vectors, such as rainbow tables, dictionary or brute force attacks.
