SUBROUTINES

password_get_info( $hash )

Returns information about the given hash

    {
        'algoName' => 'bcrypt',
        'algo' => 1,
        'options' => {
            'cost' => 14
        }
    };

password_hash ( $password, $algo, %options )

Creates a password hash

Use the constant PASSWORD_DEFAULT for the current default algorithm which is PASSWORD_BCRYPT. Per default a cost of 14 will be used and a secure salt will be generated.

password_needs_rehash ( $hash, $algo, %options )

Checks if the given hash matches the given options

password_verify ( $password, $hash )

Verifies that a password matches a hash

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This package is not a new invention, everything needed was already out there. To avoid confusion, especially to newer developers this offers a dead simple wrapper on a easy to remember namespace. Additionally this package is compatible with PHP (and most likely other languages) which makes it a great addition on multi-lang plattforms.
