The hashed password + salt is stored in /etc/shadow. Where is the

From what i see, the password salt is different for each password... so
i guess its different each time a password is generated. It makes sense
since its saved along the password itself, so its more secure than
having a single salt, at no extra cost

Yes, I understand that the salt is different and random for each
password, but how is it stored so that the hash can be used for
authentication? Sorry for the dumb questions.

Oh, i misunderstand your question.
Well, as i understand it it, the password has 3 parts, differenced with a $.
$ the kind of hash $ salt $ hash
