Bcrypt

Hex.pm Version

Bcrypt password hashing library for Elixir.

Bcrypt is a well-tested password-based key derivation function that can be configured to remain slow and resistant to brute-force attacks even as computational power increases.

Installation

  1. Add bcrypt_elixir to the deps section of your mix.exs file:

If you are using Erlang >20:

def deps do
  [
    {:bcrypt_elixir, "~> 2.0"}
  ]
end

If you are using Erlang 19 or below:

def deps do
  [
    {:bcrypt_elixir, "~> 0.12"}
  ]
end
  1. Make sure you have a C compiler installed. See the Comeonin wiki for details.

  2. Optional: during tests (and tests only), you may want to reduce the number of rounds so it does not slow down your test suite. If you have a config/test.exs, you should add:

config :bcrypt_elixir, :log_rounds, 4
