💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Importing the wrong function like check_password_hash

Using a non-existent function name

The generate_password_hash function is used to create a hashed password securely.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to hash the password string 'mypassword'.

Flask

hashed = generate_password_hash([1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'mypassword'.encode('utf-8')

B'mypassword'

Cb'mypassword'

Dmypassword

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing a variable not defined

The generate_password_hash function accepts a plain string password directly.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to verify a password against its hash.

Flask

check_password_hash([1], 'mypassword')

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the variable name as a string

Using an undefined variable

The first argument must be the hashed password variable, not a string literal.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to hash a password with method 'pbkdf2:sha256' and salt length 16.

Flask

hashed = generate_password_hash('secret', method=[1], salt_length=[2])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'pbkdf2:sha256'

B16

C'sha256'

D8

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using just 'sha256' as method

Using too small salt length

The method parameter specifies the hashing algorithm, and salt_length sets the salt size.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to check a password and print a message if it matches.

Flask

if check_password_hash([1], [2]):
    print([3])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ahashed_pw

B'user_input'

C'Password is correct!'

D'Password matches'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using string literals instead of variables

Printing unclear messages

Use the hashed password variable, the user input string, and a clear success message.
