Password Hash Generation with Argon2 Algorithm

This function uses the CryptContext class from the Passlib library and the argon2 hashing algorithm to generate a hash of a password.

Technology Stack : Passlib, CryptContext, argon2

Code Type : Password hash generation function

Code Difficulty : Intermediate

                
                    
from passlib.context import CryptContext
from passlib.hash import argon2
import random

def generate_password_hash(password):
    # Initialize a new CryptContext object with argon2 algorithm
    pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["argon2"], deprecated="auto")
    
    # Generate a password hash using the argon2 algorithm
    password_hash = pwd_context.hash(password)
    
    return password_hash
