Hello Steemians!
I'm super excited to be sharing part of a project I've been working on: a Python API class that allows authenticated users to change their passwords securely. The entire functionality is captured in a simple piece of code snippet as represented above. Code block will:
- Firstly, validation of user existence and if that user is authenticated
- Next, check for the user's current password so as to ensure the request is a valid one.
- Next, ensure the user's new password is checked against some security measures (long, complex, etc.).
- Next, use a strong password hashing algorithm to hash new passwords before storing them.
- Improve user passwords to ensure the security of information
Password security is an important aspect of protecting user information. The more reason using a strong and secure password system is necessary to ensure users can manage their credentials without compromising their accounts.
