Class BCryptPasswordHasher

django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptPasswordHasher

Secure password hashing using the bcrypt algorithm

Declaration

class BCryptPasswordHasher(BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher)

Documentation

This is considered by many to be the most secure algorithm but you
must first install the bcrypt library.  Please be warned that
this library depends on native C code and might cause portability
issues.

This hasher does not first hash the password which means it is subject to
bcrypt's 72 bytes password truncation. Most use cases should prefer the
BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher.
