The perfect solution to storage and handle with passwords! The Password-Igniter Library is a simple bcrypt hashing library for CodeIgniter that can be used if your are going to storage user's password! The Library is an adaption of PHPPass for use as a CodeIgniter library.
- Generates unique passwords
- Makes your password storage more secure
- PHP version 5.6 or newer is recommended.
- CodeIgniter version 2.2.1+
To use the Password-Igniter Library you must copy the file application/libraries/Password.php to your own application/libraries/ folder.
That's all! Have fun!
Below are some examples of what the Assets-Igniter does!
Your can load the Password-Igniter as you load any other library:
$this->load->library('password');Hashing passwords is easy! You'll pass the password string to the following function:
$str = '1234'; // Please DO NOT use this as your password! Never!
$password = $this->password->hash($str);Important: The function is supposed to return the encrypted password. But if you receive only the character * know that an error occurred.
The next function will check the password by comparing the input password with the stored hash. So you are going to need both to check the password.
Since the function will return true or false depending on success, you can use an if clause as the following example:
$str = '1234'; // Please DO NOT use this as your password! Never!
if ($this->password->check($str, $stored_hash))
{
// Password matches stored hash
}
else
{
// Password does not match stored hash
