simple-bcrypt provides bcrypt hashing utilities for Flask/Sanic/Quart/Eve application.
Python 3.3+ is required to use this package.
Due to the recent increased prevelance of powerful hardware, such as modern GPUs, hashes have become increasingly easy to crack. A proactive solution to this is to use a hash that was designed to be "de-optimized". Bcrypt is such a hashing facility; unlike hashing algorithms such as MD5 and SHA1, which are optimized for speed, bcrypt is intentionally structured to be slow.
For sensitive data that must be protected, such as passwords, bcrypt is an advisable choice.
Install the extension with one of the following commands:
$ pip install simple-bcrypt
To use the package simply import the class wrapper and pass the app object back to here. Do so like this:
from flask import Flask
from simple_bcrypt import Bcrypt
app = Flask(__name__)
bcrypt = Bcrypt(app)
from sanic import Sanic
from simple_bcrypt import Bcrypt
app = Sanic(__name__)
bcrypt = Bcrypt(app)
from quart import Quart
from simple_bcrypt import Bcrypt
app = Quart(__name__)
bcrypt = Bcrypt(app)
from eve import Eve
from simple_bcrypt import Bcrypt
app = Eve()
bcrypt = Bcrypt(app)
app.config['BCRYPT_LOG_ROUNDS'] = 6
app.config['BCRYPT_HASH_IDENT'] = '2b'
app.config['BCRYPT_HANDLE_LONG_PASSWORDS'] = False
Two primary hashing methods are now exposed by way of the bcrypt object. You need to use decode('utf-8') on generate_password_hash(), like below:
pw_hash = bcrypt.generate_password_hash('hunter2').decode('utf-8')
bcrypt.check_password_hash(pw_hash, 'hunter2') # returns True
simple-bcrypt is ported from Flask-Bcrypt
