Recently there was a lot of talk about password security, after reading a lot of threads I decided to upgrade the password security I'm currently using.
Basically I'm taking a string and hashing it with salts multiple times, salt is applied every iteration.
I wanted to ask what would be a good number of hashing times for a secure password (with salts applied every iteration).
I have ******d before I asked but unfortunately couldn't find anything helpful.
Here on the forums I've seen different numbers (2^12, 2^13, 2^14 as recommend).
