Wrapper that implements best practices for storing passwords based on scrypt with a random salt.
Arguments
- password
a string of length one with a password
- hash
a hash string of length one generated by
password_store
Details
The password_store function returns an ASCII encoded string which contains the result of a memory-hard, CPU-intensive hash function along with the automatically generated salt and other parameters required to verify the password. Use password_verify to verify a password from this string.
Examples
# Example password
password <- "I like cookies"
# Hash is what you store in the database
hash <- password_store(password)
# To verify the password when the user logs in
stopifnot(password_verify(hash, password))
