    If someones reusing their passwords then their passwords will likely be found very easily with rainbow tables.

      If your password is long/complex enough, it ain’t going to be on a rainbow table. But yeah.

        People reusing passwords probably also aren’t using long and complex passwords.

          why not? they may have one long pass that they remember and use for everything, can’t be bothered to remember more of them.

        Which bcrypt does, since it generates a unique salt per-password.
