(JavaScript) BCrypt Verify a Password (Check if Password is Correct)

A system that uses BCrypt for storing passwords would not store the actual password, but would instead store the bcrypt hash of the password. When a user presents the password, such as for login, call BCryptVerify to verify the password against the stored bcrypt hash.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var crypt = new CkCrypt2();

var storedHash = "$2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK";
var password = "mySecretPassword";

var passwordValid = crypt.BCryptVerify(password,storedHash);
if (passwordValid == true) {
    console.log(password + " is valid.");
}
else {
    console.log(password + " is NOT valid.");
}

password = "notAValidPassword";
passwordValid = crypt.BCryptVerify(password,storedHash);
if (passwordValid == true) {
    console.log(password + " is valid.");
}
else {
    console.log(password + " is NOT valid.");
}

// Output should be:

// 	mySecretPassword is valid.
// 	notAValidPassword is NOT valid.
