How should user passwords be stored?

  1. A Hashed with a slow algorithm such as bcrypt or argon2, with a unique salt
  2. B Encrypted with AES
  3. C Base64 encoded
  4. D Hashed with MD5
Answer

Hashed with a slow algorithm such as bcrypt or argon2, with a unique salt

Hashing is one-way, so a database breach does not reveal passwords. Fast digests such as MD5 and SHA1 are trivially brute-forced.
