If a site gets hacked, am I at any sort of advantage by having a complicated password, or does it not really matter at that point?
In: Technology
Usually, a website will use a “hash” to store your password.
A “hash” is a math problem, that is easy to do, always yields the same result for the same input, and is basically impossible to undo.
The site checks your password by putting the “hash” of it and comparing it to the “hash” it stored.
