Encripty passwords? Answer from Chat GPT
This is pretty spot on, and the salt is a common practice too. There’s libraries like bcrypt that can handle this for you. I recommend watching this video as an introduction to securely storing passwords, and check the comments for some other good tips.
- Tried starting automatic1111 and this virus popped up. Any ideas?

Secure Password Handling in Python
bcrypt is a library and algorithm which we used above. This is the same code which is used by passlib and there's not really a reason to use this low-level library.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing LibTomCrypt and Bcrypt you can also consider the following projects:
OpenSSL - TLS/SSL and crypto library
mbedTLS - An open source, portable, easy to use, readable and flexible TLS library, and reference implementation of the PSA Cryptography API. Releases are on a varying cadence, typically around 3 - 6 months between releases.
Crypto++ - free C++ class library of cryptographic schemes
libsodium - A modern, portable, easy to use crypto library.
Tiny AES128 in C - Small portable AES128/192/256 in C
s2n - An implementation of the TLS/SSL protocols
LibreSSL - LibreSSL Portable itself. This includes the build scaffold and compatibility layer that builds portable LibreSSL from the OpenBSD source code. Pull requests or patches sent to [email protected] are welcome.
