Does BestCrypt store passwords inside encrypted containers or somewhere on disk?
Every BestCrypt container is encrypted using unique randomly generated key. The key is stored inside container in encrypted form. The key is encrypted by hash value that is generated from password for the container (a hash algorithm SHA-1, SHA256, MD5 or RIPEMD-160 is used here). Hence, BestCrypt does not store password anywhere on disk – neither inside container nor at other place.
