What are Salt Rounds and how are Salts stored in Bcrypt?

Question

I\'m trying to configure Bcrypt for a node app that I\'m making and have several questions about salts that I hope someone here can help kindly answer.

Answer 1

Salt is included in hash only and we need not to remember while comparing.

var myPlaintextPassword='Saifio';  
var saltRounds = 10;   
const hash = bcrypt.hashSync(myPlaintextPassword, saltRounds);


$2b$10$nOUIs5kJ7naTuTFkBy1veuK0kSxUFXfuaOKdOKf9xYT0KKIGSJwFa

| | | | | | | hash-value = K0kSxUFXfuaOKdOKf9xYT0KKIGSJwFa | | | | | salt = nOUIs5kJ7naTuTFkBy1veu | | | cost-factor = 10 = 2^10 iterations | hash-algorithm = 2b = BCrypt
