# Argon2

[![Hex.pm Version](http://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/argon2_elixir.svg)](https://hex.pm/packages/argon2_elixir)

Argon2 password hashing library for Elixir.

[Argon2](https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2) is the official winner
of the [Password Hashing Competition](https://password-hashing.net/),
a several year project to identify a successor to Bcrypt / Pbkdf2 / Scrypt
password hashing methods.

## Changes in version 2

In version 2.0, argon2_elixir has been updated to implement the Comeonin
and Comeonin.PasswordHash behaviours.

It now has the following two additional convenience functions:

* `add_hash/2`
  * same as Comeonin.Argon2.add_hash in Comeonin version 4
  * hashes a password and returns a map with the password hash
* `check_pass/3`
  * same as Comeonin.Argon2.check_pass in Comeonin version 4
  * takes a user struct and password as input and verifies the password

## Installation

1. Add `argon2_elixir` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [{:argon2_elixir, "~> 2.0"}]
end
```

2. Configure `argon2_elixir` - see the documentation for Argon2.Stats for more details
