#### Password hashing { #password-hashing }

"Hashing" means: converting some content (a password in this case) into a sequence of bytes (just a string) that looks like gibberish.

Whenever you pass exactly the same content (exactly the same password) you get exactly the same gibberish.

## Password hashing { #password-hashing }

"Hashing" means converting some content (a password in this case) into a sequence of bytes (just a string) that looks like gibberish.

Whenever you pass exactly the same content (exactly the same password) you get exactly the same gibberish.

But you cannot convert from the gibberish back to the password.

### Why use password hashing { #why-use-password-hashing }

///

## Passwort-Hashing

„Hashing“ bedeutet: Konvertieren eines Inhalts (in diesem Fall eines Passworts) in eine Folge von Bytes (ein schlichter String), die wie Kauderwelsch aussieht.

Immer wenn Sie genau den gleichen Inhalt (genau das gleiche Passwort) übergeben, erhalten Sie genau den gleichen Kauderwelsch.

Sie können jedoch nicht vom Kauderwelsch zurück zum Passwort konvertieren.

* The **input model** needs to be able to have a password.
* The **output model** should not have a password.
* The **database model** would probably need to have a hashed password.

Never store user's plaintext passwords. Always store a "secure hash" that you can then verify.

If you don't know, you will learn what a "password hash" is in the [security chapters](security/simple-oauth2.md#password-hashing){.internal-link target=_blank}.
