How do site admins find out user passwords if the passwords in the database are hashed?

Question

Hashing

How to protect user passwords and still have access to them?

Answer 1

Passwords are hashed very rarely, even in large desks. I often see data leaks in large companies in the news, and it turns out that the passwords in the database were stored in clear text.

How to protect user passwords and still have access to them?

Use Salt

Answer 2

It's not clear what the question is. Where to have access? You are the user or owner of the resource.
From the user side, the password is not protected by anything - it MAY be available in an unprotected form to the owner of the service.
And if you are on the part of the owner of the service / resource, then somehow your heading does not fit with the body)))

Answer 3

These are mutually exclusive options.
Passwords are safe when they are not stored.
It is possible to provide convenience in the form of password reset or impersonation without knowing the user's passwords
