How do I implement bcrypt in Python?

To implement bcrypt in Python, you can use the bcrypt library. First, install it using pip: pip install bcrypt.

What are the basic functions I need to use?

You will primarily use bcrypt.hashpw() to hash passwords and bcrypt.checkpw() to verify them.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import bcrypt

# Hash a password
password = b'mysecret'
hash = bcrypt.hashpw(password, bcrypt.gensalt())

# Check the password
if bcrypt.checkpw(password, hash):
    print('Password matches!')
else:
    print('Password does not match.')

Is bcrypt secure for production use?

Yes, bcrypt is considered secure for password hashing in production due to its adaptive nature and resistance to brute-force attacks.
