Node Password Storage

Generated by OSS Project Generator.

The best way to protect passwords is to employ salted password hashing.

Installation

Prerequsites

• Install Node.js
• Install npm

Install package:

$ npm install --save node-password-storage

Usage

• Generate a salt

const lib = require('node-password-storage');

const salt_size = 32;

lib.generateSalt(salt_size, (err, salt) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err);

  console.log(`SALT: ${salt.toString('hex')}\n`);
});

• Generate a hash

const lib = require('node-password-storage');

const password = 'password';
const salt = 'salt';

lib.generateHash(password, salt, (err, hash) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err);

  console.log(`HASH: ${hash.toString('hex')}\n`);
});

• To generate and compare a storage

const lib = require('node-password-storage');

const password = 'password';

lib.generateStorage(password, (err, storage) => {
  if (err) return console.error(err.message);

  const params = storage.split(':');
  console.log(`SALT => ${params[0]}`);
  console.log(`HASH => ${params[1]}`);

  lib.verifyStorage(password, storage, (err, success) => {
    if (err) return console.error(err);

    console.log(`MATCH: ${success}`);
  });
});
