Store them using a slow, salted password-hashing function designed for passwords, such as Argon2id, bcrypt, or scrypt, with parameters appropriate for your infrastructure. Database encryption protects data at rest and provides useful defense in depth, but it does not protect against all database, application, credential, or key compromises. Do not offer password recovery; provide a secure password-reset flow. Also protect reset tokens, limit login attempts, and consider multi-factor authentication." }
