However, it’s not just using the right hashing algorithm. When working with Node.js applications (whether it's a vanilla Javascript application, a web server like express.js or connect, or anything in between), there’s a secure way we can store user credentials. This practice left thousands and sometimes millions of users vulnerable, not only on the original site in question but on any additional sites on which the same credentials were used. Every year we continue to see news articles and pastebins about data breaches where user accounts were stored either in plaintext (seriously!) or using an inferior hashing algorithm.
