As I understand it, passwords saved in brave are currently only protected by hashing, and hashing is crackable - reverse table lookup. Can we please salt the hashes so that cannot be done?
I’m not sure salting is relevant in this case. Saved passwords need to actually be used (inputted into password fields), so they have to be stored in a form that can be decrypted back into plaintext. That means they are encrypted by ordinary means, rather than hashed.

Ok, but shouldn’t they be protected in a better way, something unbreakable? My understanding is the current method is readily crackable.
Is Bitwarden uncrackable, can they implement something like that?
