The most important about password security is to not save it in plain text. Therefore, Spryker uses BCrypt based on Blowfish to hash passwords and add a random salt to each hash, preventing rainbow table attacks. To prevent dictionary and brute force attacks, you can force users to use special characters by adding validation rules to needed forms. For even higher security, use 2-factor authentication and CAPTCHA.

## Secrets

Store a secret in a secrets management system. See [Add variables in the Parameter Store](/docs/cloud/dev/spryker-cloud-commerce-os/add-variables-in-the-parameter-store.html) for more information about secrets and parameters.
