[Virgil Security](https://virgilsecurity.com) introduces an implementation of the [Password-Hardened Encryption (PHE) protocol](https://virgilsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/PHE-Whitepaper-2018.pdf) that provides developers with a technology to protect users passwords from offline attacks and make stolen passwords useless even if your database has been compromised.

PHE is a new, more secure mechanism that protects user passwords and lessens the security risks associated with weak passwords. Neither Virgil nor attackers know anything about user's password.
