Module "django.contrib.auth.hashers" does not define a "BcryptPasswordHasher" attribute/class
The django.contrib.auth.hashers
module in Django does not define a BcryptPasswordHasher
attribute or class.
Django provides a built-in authentication system, and the django.contrib.auth.hashers
module contains various password hashers that can be used to securely hash and verify passwords. However, the BcryptPasswordHasher
class is not available in this module.
To use bcrypt as the password hashing algorithm in Django, you can install the bcrypt
package separately.
To install bcrypt
, you can use a package manager like pip
:
pip install bcrypt
Once bcrypt
is installed, you can use it as the password hasher in Django by specifying it in the PASSWORD_HASHERS
setting in your Django project's settings.py file:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
# Other password hashers...
]
By including 'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher'
in the PASSWORD_HASHERS
list, Django will use bcrypt for password hashing and verification.
Note that BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher
is the appropriate class to use for bcrypt hashing in Django, as it uses the bcrypt algorithm with a SHA-256 cryptographic hash function.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
