Spring Security now generates a random salt and combines this with the password before hashing our password. It then adds the random salt to the beginning of the password in plaintext, so that passwords can be checked. The stored password can be summarized as follows:

    salt = randomsalt()
hash = hash(salt+originalPassword)
storedPassword = salt + hash
