This repo provides packages for easily working with passwords in Haskell.  This

is mainly to be used for web applications that need to receive plain-text

passwords from users, and store hashed passwords in a database.

The [password-types](./password-types) package provides canonical datatypes for

plain-text and hashed passwords. This package has minimal dependencies. It is

meant to be used as a base for any other packages that wants to use these datatypes.

The [`Data.Password.Types`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/password-types/docs/Data-Password-Types.html)

module contains the base datatypes.

The [password](./password) package provides functions for working with

plain-text and hashed passwords.

Every algorithm has its own module in the form of `Data.Password.ALGORITHM`

(e.g. [`Data.Password.Bcrypt`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/password/docs/Data-Password-Bcrypt.html))

with the functions for the hashing and checking of passwords.

The [password-instances](./password-instances) package and

[`Data.Password.Instances`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/password-instances/docs/Data-Password-Instances.html)

module adds convenient instances for passwords, like

[`FromJSON`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/aeson/docs/Data-Aeson.html#t:FromJSON)

and

[`PersistField`](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/persistent/docs/Database-Persist-Class.html#t:PersistField).

In general, if you are writing a web application and need to handle passwords,

you should use the `password` package together with `password-instances`.
