Functions

func EncryptPassword

func EncryptPassword(password string) (string, error)

EncryptPassword encrypts the given password with Bcrypt algorithm and returns the generated hash.

func GenerateJWT

func GenerateJWT(username string, authenticated bool) (string, error)

GenerateJWT generates new JWT with a username as a claim and authenticated claim set to false, because 2FA is needed to be fully authenticated. The JWT has an expiration time equal to the expirationDuration variable. The signing algorithm is HS256.

func HashAndPasswordMatch

func HashAndPasswordMatch(hash, password string) bool

HashAndPasswordMatch takes a hash and a password and determines if the hash matches the entered password.

func ValidateToken

func ValidateToken(tokenString string) (*claims, error)
