Constants

const MinLength = 10

MinLength is the shortest password we allow.

Variables

var ErrBadPassword = errors.New("bad password")

ErrBadPassword is used when an invalid password is given. This is used so we don't send back the bcrypt error message.

func Create(password string) (string, error)

Create gets a hash from a plaintext password.

func IsValid

func IsValid(password, hash string) (bool, error)
