 Password - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a user types in a password on such a system, it is run through the hashing algorithm, and if the hash value generated from the user's entry matches the hash stored in the password database, the user is permitted access.
So a student's password might not be worth more than a few seconds of computer time, whilst a password controlling access to a large bank's electronic money transfer system might be worth many weeks of computer time.
If the user supplies a password matching the one stored for the supplied user name, he or she is permitted further access into the computer system.

 Passwords: the Weak Link in Network Security
Entering the user name and password every time a user wants to access a different resource on the computer or network would be cumbersome, so the authentication process is made transparent to the user after the initial logon.
Although the equipment is somewhat expensive and the software is not yet perfected, biometric authentication has the potential to be the most secure way of verifying that a person is who he claims to be.
However, if the data on your computer or network is especially sensitive, your organization should consider supplementing password authentication with some other authentication method.

 Authentication, Authorization, and Access Control
The idea is to tie a built-in data structure to the contents of the file, such that when the data structure is changed, the file is automatically modified at the same time.
On Windows, a similar precaution should be taken, changing the ownership of the password file to the web server user, so that other users cannot read the file.
While it is debatable whether this is a good idea, since it effectively overrides the entire point of having security in the first place, it is certainly convenient for the user, and simplifies the user experience.
