Password Hashing

Creates and verifies secure password hashes using bcrypt. Demonstrates best-practice storage (slow hashing + salt) for credentials. Includes a CLI to hash and verify without storing plaintext passwords. Recommend adding pepper or switching to Argon2 for higher security.

import bcrypt

password = "SecureP@ssw0rd"
hashed = bcrypt.hashpw(password.encode('utf-8'), bcrypt.gensalt())

print("Original:", password)
print("Hashed:", hashed.decode())Hashes passwords using bcrypt for secure storage.
