Reading Django's old abandoned password hashers

djlegacyhasher

Django application that provides reading django's old abandoned password hashers:

• SHA1PasswordHasher
• MD5PasswordHasher
• UnsaltedSHA1PasswordHasher
• UnsaltedMD5PasswordHasher

These classes can be used for read passwords from databases of legacy django projects that use corresponding hashing algorithms.

Quick setup

Put the app into INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py::

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    "legacyhasher",
]

To provide reading of one of old password hashing algorithms you need to add it's corresponding class into PASSWORD_HASHERS in settings.py, e.g.::

PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
    ...
    "legacyhasher.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher",
]

This will allow you to read SHA1 salted passwords from database. Once user logs in with his password, password will be saved to database using default hashing algorithm.
