Passlib |release| documentation
==========================================
.. only:: devcopy
.. warning::
This is the documentation for a development version of Passlib.
For documentation of the latest stable version,
see `<https://passlib.readthedocs.io>`_.
.. rst-class:: without-title
.. note::
**2020-05-01: Passlib's public repository has moved to Heptapod!**
Due to BitBucket deprecating Mercurial support, Passlib's public repository and issue tracker
has been relocated. It's now located at `<https://foss.heptapod.net/python-libs/passlib>`_,
and is powered by `Heptapod <https://heptapod.net/>`_.
Hosting is being graciously provided by the people at
`Octobus <https://octobus.net/>`_ and `CleverCloud <https://clever-cloud.com/>`_!
Welcome
=======
Passlib is a password hashing library for Python 2 & 3, which provides
cross-platform implementations of over 30 password hashing algorithms, as well
as a framework for managing existing password hashes. It's designed to be useful
for a wide range of tasks, from verifying a hash found in /etc/shadow, to
providing full-strength password hashing for multi-user application.
As a quick sample, the following code hashes and then verifies a password
using the :doc:`PBKDF2-SHA256 </lib/passlib.hash.pbkdf2_digest>` algorithm::
>>> # import the hash algorithm
>>> from passlib.hash import pbkdf2_sha256
>>> # generate new salt, and hash a password
>>> hash = pbkdf2_sha256.hash("toomanysecrets")
>>> hash
'$pbkdf2-sha256$29000$N2YMIWQsBWBMae09x1jrPQ$1t8iyB2A.WF/Z5JZv.lfCIhXXN33N23OSgQYThBYRfk'
>>> # verifying the password
>>> pbkdf2_sha256.verify("toomanysecrets", hash)
True
>>> pbkdf2_sha256.verify("joshua", hash)
False

Getting Started
===============
This documentation is organized into two main parts:
a narrative walkthrough of Passlib, and a top-down API reference.
:doc:`install`
See this page for system requirements & installation instructions.
:doc:`narr/index`
New users in particular will want to visit the walkthrough, as it provides
introductory documentation including installation requirements,
an overview of what passlib provides, and a guide for getting started quickly.
:doc:`lib/index`
The API reference contains a top-down reference of the :mod:`!passlib` package.
:doc:`other`
This section contains additional things that don't
fit anywhere else, including an :doc:`FAQ <faq>` and a complete
:doc:`changelog <history/index>`.
