In today’s digital world, all the web applications are used password for their login process. It is fact that, all the Internet applications still used the text based passwords with encrypted form. In encryption technique, hackers are easily hacking the password with decryption process. It is not a secure method to implement in password process. There are so many possibilities of decrypting a password and gets the password by hackers. It was the existing method to protect the unauthorized person to access or enter into the account. Today’s technology revolution, the hackers are supposed to be hacked the encrypted text based passwords. In order to avoid this, we used salted hashing password technique using SHA-256 algorithm [1]. The main objective of this research paper is to secure the user’s password in order to give protection from hacking. In this paper we had implemented password security in SHA-256 hashing algorithm at server side.
