title: Should the Salt for a password Hash be "hashed" also?
body: <p>This I think may be a silly question, but I have become quite confused on what I should do here for the best.</p>
  
  <p>When salting a password hash, should the salt also be hashed or left as plaintext?</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I am hashing a password in SHA-256 and the Salt is a pre defined string as only one password will ever be stored at a time.</p>
  
  <p>TIA</p>
