Technology Stack : Passlib, bcrypt

Code Type : Password hash function

Code Difficulty : Intermediate

                
                    
from passlib.context import CryptContext
import random

def hash_password(password):
    # Initialize a new CryptContext object with a default hash algorithm
    context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
    
    # Generate a salt and hash the password
    hashed = context.hash(password)
    
    return hashed
