# class Crypto::Bcrypt::Password

- Crypto::Bcrypt::Password
- Reference
- Object

##
Overview

Generate, read and verify `Crypto::Bcrypt` hashes.

NOTE To use `Password`, you must explicitly import it with `require "crypto/bcrypt/password"`

    require "crypto/bcrypt/password"

    password = Crypto::Bcrypt::Password.create("super secret", cost: 10)
    # => $2a$10$rI4xRiuAN2fyiKwynO6PPuorfuoM4L2PVv6hlnVJEmNLjqcibAfHq

    password.verify("wrong secret") # => false
    password.verify("super secret") # => true

See `Crypto::Bcrypt` for hints to select the cost when generating hashes.

##
Defined in:

crypto/bcrypt/password.cr

##
Constructors

- .create(password, cost = DEFAULT_COST) : self

  Hashes a password.

- .new(raw_hash : String)

  Loads a bcrypt hash.

##
Instance Method Summary

- #cost : Int32
- #digest : String
- #inspect(io : IO) : Nil

  Appends a String representation of this object which includes its class name, its object address and the values of all instance variables.

- #salt : String
- #to_s(io : IO) : Nil

  Returns the bcrypt hash, suitable for storage and use in `Crypto::Bcrypt::Password.new`.

- #verify(password : String) : Bool

  Verifies a password against the hash.

- #version : String
