Building Browsergames: Why you should be hashing sensitive data

  • Marius · 3 days ago
    Is emails considered sensitive in this matter? And is there no way to unhash data that is hashed?

    E-mails are definitely considered sensitive(although you can't hash them
    because you need them to e-mail users).

    I shouldn't say that there's no way to unhash data, but there's no way that
    you'd want to - if you want to be able to recover the information, you
    should look at encrypting it instead(so that you can decrypt it when you
    need it).
