bcrypt

Documentation

Overview

Package bcrypt implements the bcrypt password hashing mechanism.

Please note that bcrypt truncates passwords to 72 characters in length. Consider using a more modern hashing scheme such as scrypt or sha-crypt. If you must use bcrypt, consider using bcrypt-sha256 instead.
