🚀 Quick Reference

Use Case	Command	Description
🔑 Hash password with default salt	crypt.crypt(password)	Hash using strongest available method
🔑 Hash password with specific method	crypt.crypt(password, crypt.METHOD_SHA512)	Hash using SHA‑512
🧂 Generate salt for default method	crypt.mksalt()	Generate salt for strongest method
🧂 Generate salt for specific method	crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA256)	Generate salt for SHA‑256
✅ Check password against hash	crypt.crypt(password, stored_hash) == stored_hash	Verify password

🔧 FUNCTIONS

🔐 crypt(word, salt=None)

Return a string representing the one‑way hash of a password, with a salt prepended.

If salt is not specified or is None, the strongest available method will be selected and a salt generated. Otherwise, salt may be one of the crypt.METHOD_* values, or a string as returned by crypt.mksalt().

🧂 mksalt(method=None, *, rounds=None)

Generate a salt for the specified method.

If not specified, the strongest available method will be used.
