Why is it a problem when password hashes are leaked?
I only store password hashes in the database and use them to verify the password entered by the user. As far as I know, reversing a hash is impractical. So even if I have the password hash, I can only compare it with other hashes, not calculate the password.
So the question is: Why is it a problem when only the hashes of passwords are leaked and not the passwords themselves?
