What are some popular password hashing libraries in Go?

Some popular password hashing libraries in Go include bcrypt, scrypt, and Argon2. Do you want to know more about any specific one?

Can you explain how bcrypt works?

Bcrypt is a password hashing function that incorporates a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks and is designed to be slow to mitigate brute-force attacks.

How do I implement bcrypt in my Go application?

You can implement bcrypt in Go by using the "golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt" package. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for using bcrypt.

Here's a simple example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt"
)

func main() {
    password := []byte("mySecretPassword")
    hashedPassword, err := bcrypt.GenerateFromPassword(password, bcrypt.DefaultCost)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(string(hashedPassword))
}
