@clickhere @aesche @chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh bcrypt is a cryptographic hash function used as a one-way mathematical operation to make password verification possible.
with the same "salt" (a randomly picked initialisation value, so you can't precalculate everything as an attacker) and the same number of iterations you always get the same result for the same password - and don't have to store the password in cleartext, possibly to be stolen/leaked.
I'll not spoil what the 'b' is for 😆
@count @aesche @chrisjrn @Rhodium103 @josh Aha, thank you!
(And that's okay - as we have now established, the 'b' stands for Bechdel. 🙂)

Bcrypt is the industry standard way to securely store passwords in databases so they're incomprehensible to humans.
Unfortunately, my original toot was false 🙃

CI server reports that all tests are passing. I guess that means the Bechdel test, too.
