Program to implement for Password storage salt and pepper

 # pip install bcrypt

import bcrypt

PEPPER = b"My$ecretPepperKey"  # secret pepper (store securely)

# Hash password

def hash_pw(pw: str):

    return bcrypt.hashpw(pw.encode() + PEPPER, bcrypt.gensalt())

# Verify password

def verify_pw(stored: bytes, attempt: str):

    return bcrypt.checkpw(attempt.encode() + PEPPER, stored)

# Example

user_pw = "my_secure_password123"

stored_hash = hash_pw(user_pw)

print("Stored Hash:", stored_hash)

# Login attempt

if verify_pw(stored_hash, "my_secure_password123"):

    print("Password verified.")

else:

    print("Invalid password.")
