Bcrypt is intentionally designed to be computationally slow, making it resistant to brute-force attacks even as hardware becomes faster\u2014a significant advantage over older algorithms like MD5 or SHA1 that prioritize speed. The extension exposes two main methods: one to hash a password and one to verify a plaintext password against a stored hash.\n\nYou initialize it by passing your Flask app object to the Bcrypt class, then call its hashing and verification methods from anywhere in your application. It's a thin, focused wrapper around the bcrypt library, suitable for any Flask application that needs to store and validate user passwords securely.","worth_installing":"Yes. Flask-Bcrypt is a mature, actively maintained extension with no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. It solves a critical security problem\u2014password hashing\u2014with a proven algorithm. Install it if you are building a Flask application that requires user authentication."},"id":"flask-bcrypt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-bcrypt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-bcrypt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-bcrypt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-04-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-Bcrypt","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Brcrypt hashing for Flask."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2323862,"position":3140,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
