Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and system are provided. The method includes generating, by a password management system using a set of Hardware Random Number Generators (HRNGs), at least one salt based on statistics of a set of random numbers with given distributions generated by the set of HRNGs. The method further includes forming, by a processor, a hashed password based on the at least one salt.
