Given the following code snippet, what will be the output of print(pwd_context.verify('secret123', hashed_password)) if hashed_password is generated by hashing 'secret123'?

from passlib.context import CryptContext
pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
hashed_password = pwd_context.hash('secret123')
print(pwd_context.verify('secret123', hashed_password))

ARaises a TypeError

BTrue

CFalse

DPrints the hashed password string

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand pwd_context.hash and verify
pwd_context.hash creates a hashed password from the plain text. verify checks if the plain text matches the hash.
Step 2: Analyze the verify call
Since 'secret123' was hashed and then verified against the same string, verify returns True.
Final Answer:
True -> Option B
Quick Check:
Verify correct password = True [OK]

Quick Trick: Verify returns True if password matches hash [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Expecting verify to return the hash
Confusing verify output with hash output
Thinking verify raises errors on match
