This sure seems like a simple and effective way to protect passwords from hackers. Makes you wonder why no one is doing this.
Researchers at computer security company RSA have created a system that splits passwords in two and stores each half in different locations. The two halves never come together, even when a person logs in and has his password verified. That should make it harder for someone to steal them, because a thief would need to break into both those servers, which can be protected in different ways.
