Decrypt Password

The decrypt module provides a function for comparing a plaintext password with its hashed counterpart. This utility ensures password integrity and verifies whether a provided plaintext password matches its hashed representation.

Features

  • Password Verification: Compare a plaintext password with its hashed counterpart to verify authenticity.
  • SHA-256 Hashing: Utilizes the SHA-256 hashing algorithm for secure password comparison.
  • Error Handling: Throws descriptive errors when input validation fails, providing detailed feedback for improved debugging.
  • Easy Integration: Seamlessly integrate the comparePasswords function into your Node.js applications to verify passwords effortlessly.

Usage

const { decrypt } = require('apiutils.js');
 
const plainTextPassword = 'myPassword123';
const hashedPassword = 'jrfiIvW0m6Nr/CXkMUwGc7QlOh6cS2bJg/ZmEl/HE=';
 
try {
    const passwordMatch = decrypt(plainTextPassword, hashedPassword);
    if (passwordMatch) {
        console.log('Passwords match!');
    } else {
        console.log('Passwords do not match.');
    }
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
}

Parameters

  • plain_text (string): The plaintext password to compare.
  • hashedPassword (string): The hashed password to compare against.

Return Value

  • Returns true if the plaintext password matches the hashed password, otherwise false.

Throws

  • Throws an error if either the plaintext password or the hashed password is not provided or is not a string.
