Unbreakable password storage
Application Secret – is an additional secret (peppering) used alongside a password at the application level.

From License to Freedom: Embracing Open Source Forks Knowing What to Expect
OpenTofu, (forked from Hashicorp Terraform), is a newer example along with OpenBao (forked from Hashicorp Vault). When HashiCorp changed the license for Terraform and Vault to the Business Source License (BSL), the community quickly responded by forking the project under the name OpenTofu & OpenBao. These forks aim to preserve the tool’s open nature and ensure that the developer community has a truly open source alternative to some of the industries widely adapted softwares.
