if you think this hypothetical through, you would get a situation where everyone has a unique password, that is really random because you don’t want someone else to accidentally get the same one.
in the end, it might actually be more secure than the current system where 30% of all users use Password123!
it wouldn't be possible to compare two users passwords because they are jumbled up differently for each user when they are stored.
