So when a User sends a post request with login credentials to the server for the first time. The Server hashes the password and stores it. When the User logins in again with that password it gets hashed and compared to the first hash. Since hashing scrambles and adds in more bits, is it comparing the size or the actual password?
If it comparing size it’s theoretical that other certain character can get the same size.
I’m just been confused what’s being compared.
