Note that it is not a good idea to store passwords in plain text. You want to |
|
|
|
|
protect login credentials if someone happens to have access to your database. |
|
|
|
|
One way to do this is to use Security Helpers from Werkzeug to hash the |
|
|
|
|
password. However, the emphasis of this tutorial is to demonstrate the basics |
|
|
|
|
of Flask and plain text passwords are used for simplicity. |

Passwords should never be stored in plain text in a production |
|
|
|
|
system. This tutorial uses plain text passwords for simplicity. If you |
|
|
|
|
plan to release a project based off this tutorial out into the world, |
|
|
|
|
passwords should be both `hashed and salted`_ before being stored in a |
|
|
|
|
database or file. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, there are Flask extensions for the purpose of |
|
|
|
|
hashing passwords and verifying passwords against hashes, so adding |
|
|
|
|
this functionality is fairly straight forward. There are also |
|
|
|
|
many general python libraries that can be used for hashing. |
