CodeIgniter Password Hash Library

phpass is a portable password hashing framework for use in PHP applications. The preferred (most secure) hashing method supported by phpass is the OpenBSD-style bcrypt (known in PHP as CRYPT_BLOWFISH), with a fallback to BSDI-style extended DES-based hashes (known in PHP as CRYPT_EXT_DES), and a last resort fallback to an MD5-based variable iteration count password hashing method implemented in phpass itself.

Installation

1. Download this .zip file: https://github.com/jenssegers/CodeIgniter-Phpass-Library/archive/master.zip
2. From the downloaded files, copy the libraries and vendor folder into your CodeIgniter application folder.
3. Copy the phpass.php from the config folder of your download files and paste in your CodeIgniter's application/config folder.
4. Please follow the instructions below on how to use this hash library.

How to use:

<?php
// Load the hash library
$this->load->library('phpass'); // or use spark

// example 1: hashing a password
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$hashed = $this->phpass->hash($password);

// example 2: checking a password
$user = $this->user_model->get(123);
$hashed = $user->password;
$password = $this->input->post('password');

if ($this->phpass->check($password, $hashed))
    echo 'logged in';
else
    echo 'wrong password';
?>
