What is a salted password?
So I have to write a program in which I have to salt come passwords but my proffesor notes define salt as a random number (set of bits) that the system associates with a user. I wrote a program in which a random number is created and appended to the password but I notice that everytime I run the program the salted password will be different so can somebody explain what they mean with random number?

What is the most secure option for storing passwords?
I searched and didn't see a recent discussion on this topic. My question is what would be the most secure option for storing passwords? I've been considering the following:Chrome password manager - from what I've seen, chrome password manager is considered secure now that passwords are no longer stored in plaintext. Also, Google has to be one of the most well secured cloud service that exists, certainly more so than Lastpass, correct?Lastpass - Passwords are sitting on a server somewhere, probably a less secure server than Google.Keepass - Seems the most ideal solution, cloud sync is optional but not required. Very secure application and protocol, open source so that code is combed for vulnerabilities. The ONLY thing stopping me from using Keepass is the reliance on third party Android apps required to access passwords from mobile. I "trust" Keepass to be safe, but I find it almost impossible to trust third party android apps to be safe. Even if they are open source, I doubt the code is really looked at by anyone so much as Keepass is. What's to stop an app from intercepting the copy / paste function and sending my login details somewhere? (malicious or non-malicious)Paper and Pen - removes hackers from the equation, relying on one's own physical security. I've seen some security experts recommend this as the only secure password manager.I'm interested in opinions, and what people are doing for their own passwords. I guess Keepass would work if I simply stop using my mobile phone to acccess sites where security is important. Some don't recommend doing anything sensitive on a wireless devices anyways. I'm probably overanalyzing things a bit here, but just wondering what others think as well.

Really Quick Question
Hi, sorry I didn't know where to put thisIf I were to download malware accidentally, would it immediately infect my computer or would I have to run it?For example, if I downloaded a rattrojan.exe, scanned it using virustotal, realised it was malware and then deleted it, would my computer be infected?Thanks
