WerkzeugSecurityCLI

A CLI wrapper around

• werkzeug.security.generate_password_hash
• werkzeug.security.check_password_hash

for generating and checking werkzeug.security password hashes on the command line

Disclaimer!

Not associated with Werkzeug in any way! (other than using their wonderful software :D)

Examples

$ HASH=$(wzscli generate my-test-password-123)
$ echo "${HASH}"
scrypt:32768:8:1$pyMfKdIqwYxw0GOT$6d49052bdf9cffb2288d7cb198d7bed5566f284932dad0c74b3948866b1468220afd93e9aa17069c4a2403d33747e5e71981c3c552d751a0e249642b6641bac5
$ wzscli check "${HASH}" my-test-password-12
False
$ wzscli check "${HASH}" my-test-password-123
True

One can supply the password positional argument directly in the command line argv as above, or supply - to read the password from stdin using Python's getpass module as below

$ HASH=$(wzscli generate -)
> Password: # sneedy-feedy
$ wzscli check "${HASH}" -
> Password: # sneedy-feedy
True

Installing

Available on PyPI as WerkzeugSecurityCLI.

I like to use pipx to manage Python CLI utils:

$ pipx install WerkzeugSecurityCLI
