  • It’s actually a really good question. What you’re explaining is called a collision, by creating the same hash with different numbers you can succesfully login.

    This why some standard hashing function become deprecated and are replaced when someone finds a collision. MD5, which was used a lot to hash passwords or files, is considered insecure because of all the collisions people could find.
