Secure Password Library using only Python standard lib
======================================================
A small Python library that aids in securely storing and authenticating passwords.
Based on best practice suggestions from:
https://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm?=rd
Usage
-----
>>> hashed = hash_password(
... password='secure password',
... key='string from keyfile',
... iterations=500
... )
>>> verify_password(
... stored_password=hashed,
... provided_password='secure password',
... key='string from keyfile',
... iterations=500
... )
True
Note that iterations is a multiplied by 1,000. 500 is probably a reasonable
default.
Keyed Hashes
------------
If ``key`` is used it should be a string read from a file or outside source that
is not stored in the database or hardcoded into the program.
Keyed Hashes are not required. By default an empty string is used.
See https://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm?=rd for Keyed Hashes
Installation
------------
poetry add sec-password
or
pip install sec-password
