Password Storage Schemes encode new passwords provided by users so that they are stored in an encoded manner. This makes it difficult or impossible for someone to determine the clear-text passwords from the encoded values.

Password Storage Schemes also determine whether a clear-text password provided by a client matches the encoded value stored in the server.
