What is a Salt?
A salt is random data that is used as an additional input to a one-way function that hashes data, a password or passphrase. Salts are used to safeguard passwords in storage. Historically a password was stored in plaintext on a system, but over time additional safeguards developed to protect a user's password against being read from the system.
Why use this tool?
This tool uses your browser's built-in `crypto.getRandomValues()` API to generate cryptographically strong random numbers, ensuring the salts are unpredictable and secure.
