You mean plaintext passwords right? Ofcourse then need to store your (hashed)password!

    Point is, a hash isn't a password. giving the most you don't need tech knowledge analogy, it's like the passwords fingerprint.

    The police station may keep your daughters fingerprint so that if they find a lost child they can recognize it is your daughter beyond any doubt. Your daughters fingerprints, is like a hash, your daughter is a password.

    The police should not store your daughter... that's bad practice. The fingerprints are all they should store, and needless to say the fingerprints aren't your daughter, just as a hash isn't a password.
