Make Django use bcrypt for hashing passwords.
Project description
django-bcrypt makes it easy to use bcrypt to hash passwords with Django.
Installation and Usage
Install the package with pip and Mercurial or git:
pip install -e hg+http://bitbucket.org/dwaiter/django-bcrypt#egg=django-bcrypt # or ... pip install -e git://github.com/dwaiter/django-bcrypt.git#egg=django-bcrypt
Add django_bcrypt to your INSTALLED_APPS.
That’s it.
Any new passwords set will be hashed with bcrypt. Old passwords will still work fine.
Configuration
You can set BCRYPT_ROUNDS in settings.py to change the number of rounds django-bcrypt uses. The default is 12.
You can change the number of rounds without breaking already-hashed passwords. New passwords will use the new number of rounds, and old ones will use the old number.
Acknowledgements
This is pretty much a packaged-up version of this blog post for easier use.
It also depends on the py-bcrypt library.
