[[{{{image}}}|link=|]] Note: Using passwordHash is the recommended way of storing passwords.

This function creates a new password hash using a specified hashing algorithm.

[[|link=|]] Warning: It is strongly recommended to use the async version of the function (i.e. provide a callback function). Otherwise, you will experience short freezes due to the slow nature of the bcrypt algorithm

Syntax

string passwordHash ( string password, string algorithm, table options [, function callback ] )

Required Arguments

  • password: The password to hash.
  • algorithm: The algorithm to use:
    • bcrypt: use the bcrypt hashing algorithm. Hash length: 60 characters. Note that only the prefix $2y$ is supported (older prefixes can cause security issues).
  • options: table with options for the hashing algorithm, as detailed below.

Optional Arguments

  • callback: providing a callback will run this function asynchronously, the arguments to the callback are the same as the returned values below.

Options for each hashing algorithm

  • bcrypt:
    • cost (int), default: 10. Visit this link to determine the number of rounds appropriate for your server.
    • salt (string), default: empty string
      • an empty string will automatically generate a salt with the cost provided
      • deprecated: if a string is provided, it will be used as a salt (do not do this!)
      • the provided string should be longer than or equal to 22 characters

Returns

Returns the hash as a string if hashing was successful, false otherwise. If a callback was provided, the aforementioned values are arguments to the callback, and this function will always return true.

Example

[[|link=|]] Warning: If you will be using "Example 1" then you will have to save account data "hash_password" after server restart, otherwise this script will no longer work.

This example makes use of passwordHash and passwordVerify in account creation and account login to boost up security.

  • Use /accountCreate [username] [password] to create an account.
  • Use /accountLogin [username] [password] to login in account.
