upash
A unified Node.js API for password hashing algorithms like Argon2, PBKDF2, and bcrypt, simplifying secure password management.
What is upash?
upash is a Node.js library that provides a unified API for password hashing algorithms like Argon2, PBKDF2, scrypt, and bcrypt. It simplifies secure password management by offering a consistent interface, automatic algorithm detection, and easy migration between hashing methods. The project addresses the challenge of correctly implementing and maintaining password security in applications.
Node.js developers building applications that require secure password storage, such as web services, APIs, or authentication systems. It's particularly useful for teams that need to adhere to security best practices and plan for future algorithm upgrades.
Developers choose upash because it abstracts the complexity of different password hashing algorithms into a single, easy-to-use API. It reduces the risk of implementation errors, supports seamless algorithm migration, and follows the PHC string format for interoperability, making password security more maintainable and future-proof.
