What Is Password Salting & How It Improves Security?

What if I tell you Password Hashing is not that secure, and attackers have workarounds to attack hashed passwords as well?

The answer is Password Salting, to make it much more difficult for attackers to crack the passwords, even if they manage to get access of the hashed passwords.
