Encripty passwords? Answer from Chat GPT
This is pretty spot on, and the salt is a common practice too. There’s libraries like bcrypt that can handle this for you. I recommend watching this video as an introduction to securely storing passwords, and check the comments for some other good tips.
- Tried starting automatic1111 and this virus popped up. Any ideas?
