Description

scrypt password hashing support helps applications derive keys or store password verifiers with a memory-hard algorithm. It is useful for authentication systems and tools that need stronger resistance to brute-force hardware than older hashes.

This is a cryptographic library, not a complete login system. Security depends on parameters, salts, storage, rate limits, and review of the surrounding authentication design.
