aiobcrypt

Aiobcrypt is a Python library for offloading bcrypt operations to a ThreadPool, making them non-blocking in asynchronous projects like FastAPI.

As bcrypt is slow by design this prevents, in the case of FastAPI, request from stalling until bcrypt is done. This is managed by wrapping all bcrypt methods in an async wrapper and letting them run in a ThreadPool.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install aiobcrypt.

pip install aiobcrypt

Usage

import aiobcrypt

password = b'hello async world'

async def hash_and_verify():
    # Generate salt
    salt = await aiobcrypt.gensalt()

    # Generate hashed password
    hashed_password = await aiobcrypt.hashpw(password, salt)

    # Validate hashed password
    valid_password = await aiobcrypt.checkpw(password, hashed_password)
