If I create an account (for example, on the laptop a new user) then the password that I set yes encrypted and ONLY the encryption stored. When I log in then what I enter - as far as I know - also encrypted and then compared, whether both encryption (in the memory and mine) are the same. Is it possible that there's a second password, which has the same encryption, and is thus accepted?
(Unimportant: How I get it: In the game Minecraft "Seeds" - ie creation codes for worlds, which one enters in ABC form - converted into hash codes, and it happens that two different words have the same hash code and thus generate the same world.)
Yes, it is, albeit unlikely in the current procedures, that such a guess.
One reason why you should not use MD5 anymore.
That depends on the method used.
Window passwords are uniquely encrypted, i. No second generates the same encryption.
(sorry If I did not understand the question correctly)
The passwords you enter are encrypted, but this is different everywhere as it is encrypted. As a result, everyone has a different encryption.
Ex: Password 12345 is encrypted to 73hb19daje now ONLY the receiver / server has the decrypter, which makes the encrypted 12345 again and then sends it back to you and then leaves you "pure".
Is just the question of whether password encryption is equal to hash code creation. Is that the same?
Achso, that's going to be decrypted?! Would not it be much safer if you did not decrypten it at all, but simply encrypt the input and then compare both encryptions? Because so nen decrypter I can safely catch up, that's really insecure.
And are you sure that you can decrypten something like that? Hmm
PS: I'm not just about servers and networks, but also about home computers.
No, it would be easier for hackers because you would not have to enter your password because almost anyone can read it
And if you would do the decrypter it means the decrypter is on the PC. Means I can lift it.
Passwords are usually always stored as a hash. On Windows, you can enable reversible encryption, but it is disabled by default.
