What effect does the use of hashing have on stored passwords?

• Less digital storage is required for user credentials that include hashed passwords.
• Enforces the use of complex passwords.
• The recovery of forgotten passwords is faster.
• The password cannot be restored from the stored unique hash.

Explanation: Nobody can reverse a digital hash to discover the original input. If the input changes at all, it results in a different hash. The system never writes the user’s password to the hard drive, it only stores the digital hash. This way, the password is truly only known to the user who set it.
