Publish Date: Jul 20 '20

I was curious based on your personal/professional opinion what is the best way to do password authentication?

I see so many different ways of handling users' passwords from salts hashing etc. and I wanted to know what you guys would do.

    Best option: Login using google/facebook.
    Second best: Hash and salt.
    Bad: Encrypt
    Never: plain text.

        I have seen this code project article also posted on crackstation.net/ (which currently seems to be having problems with their SSL) - and while I'm not a security expert - it seems to me that they are doing a pretty good job explaining it.
