i did not delete it from the config/site.php not sure where it is.

It should be in site.php. If it's not, the easiest way to retrieve it, as it's almost impossible, is to get it from the file, from within a site backup.

wops accidentally marked your answer as best answer. don't think it is solved or anything...

it is a fresh install never touched the site.php site works 100% im just trying to build something that i need the salt.

maybe in the new version it does not show in the site.php?

Typically that would be one of the better answers. But you've now brought me to realize, there ISN'T a salt in the site.php file on fresh 5.6.3.1 sites. Just double checked one of my sites. Interesting ?!

again hit 'best answer when wnted to reply', sorry.
thank a lot. i will of course also post when i find the answer.

i was thinking we can look at the login controller to find out how c5 gets the salt, however seems like the login controller is empty? concrete5/controllers/login.php

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
class LoginController extends Concrete5_Controller_Login { 
}
?>


any idea where the login logic is?

// $salt is retained for compatibilty with older versions of concerete5, but not used.
      public function encryptPassword($uPassword, $salt = null) {
         return $this->getUserPasswordHasher()->HashPassword($uPassword);
        }
