		michaelmior on Nov 2, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Bear does analytics with CSS I don't follow your point. Yes, you can brute force. But if I have 50,000 unsalted password hashes, I can crack those using rainbow tables much faster than brute forcing all 50,000. For a single password hash, I agree it probably doesn't really matter.

I don't understand why anyone would ever have 50,000 or even 1 unsalted password hash.
