Store each password using a unique salt and a slow, password-specific hashing function such as Argon2id, bcrypt, or scrypt. Database encryption is useful defense in depth, but it does not protect against compromised applications, database credentials, or encryption keys. Since passwords should not be recoverable, provide a secure password-reset flow using short-lived, single-use tokens. Consider MFA, rate limiting, secure session handling, and monitoring as additional protections." }
