You're getting negative karma'ed because your comment shows a lack of understanding of what bcrypt is and what it does. Here's a short explanation: bcrypt is a hash function that you should use for storing hashed passwords. When calculating the bcrypt hash of a string, a salt is automatically added. The result you get looks something like this: `$2a$10$N9qo8uLOickgx2ZMRZoMyeIjZAgcfl7p92ldGxad68LJZdL17lhWy` The 2a specifies which version of bcrypt was used, the 10 is the number of rounds, N9qo8uLOickgx2ZMRZoMye is the salt and the remaining characters are the hash. When checking this hash against a password you have to call a second function and pass in the password as well as the hash. This second function will automatically parse the passed in hash and calculate the hash of the password with the same number of rounds and the same salt.

Nar, I’m familiar with bcrypt. I was just getting bcrypt mixed up with scrypt. Doh.

Even so, that’s still not a good enough reason to -rep without feedback.
