How To Safely Store A Password

[Vinicius Assef]

Hi guys.

I just read this article about bcrypt [0] and was thinking about web2py passwords.

I don't know many things about encryption. What do you have to say about it? Is it a good choice? Why?

That article is a bit old. Now I think the recommendation is to use PBKDF2 (which web2py uses by default) or scrypt.
