The Full Stack Web Development - Password Encryption

The video tutorial explains how to encrypt user passwords using bcrypt in a registration form. It covers generating a salt, hashing the password, and updating the user object with the hashed password. The tutorial also demonstrates deleting database entries and testing the encryption process. Finally, it previews the next video, which will focus on setting up passport and local strategy for user login.

Why is it important to encrypt user passwords?

• To make the password longer

• To prevent unauthorized access

• To reduce server load

• To make the password easier to remember

What is the purpose of generating a salt in the bcrypt process?

• To add flavor to the password

• To make the password case-sensitive

• To enhance security by adding randomness

• To increase the length of the password

Which method is used to hash the password in bcrypt?

• bcrypt.hash()

• bcrypt.encrypt()

• bcrypt.salt()

• bcrypt.secure()

What should be done after hashing the password?

• Store the plaintext password

• Update the user object with the hashed password

• Delete the user object

• Send the password to the user via email

What is the next step after encrypting passwords, as mentioned in the video?

• Setting up a new database

• Developing a password recovery system

• Creating a new user interface

• Implementing user login with passport
