Abstract: Attacks such as phishing and hacking are becoming more common for individuals without authorization in the current environment. Because of this, authorised users of any domain, especially those online, are having a difficult time securing their data. The use of a password mechanism at relevant locations is the primary suggestion for surviving these kinds of difficulties. By establishing data validity in a more impenetrable manner, this work contributes to protecting unauthorised access through password management. However, there is always a possibility that passwords will be compromised at some point. This work employs a memory-intensive function, Argon2i, in conjunction with other approaches to enhance the legitimacy of the password hashing process. Consequently, a high-throughput hardware-based Three Fish algorithm is used to improve the security of users’ passwords.
