Coding our application
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s write a little code.
The scenario here is that we are registering a new user. We will need to generate a random salt, generate their password hash, then store those to an imaginary database for authentication in the future.
We’re going to use the bcrypt module for our code here. ...
