Use Passlib (PBKDF2) in Python/Flask to Hash Password - Chat App Part8

In this video we will cover the dangers of storing plaintext passwords in our database. We will also review how a good hashing function can offer us a measure of protection against dictionary attacks, brute force attacks and rainbow table attacks. Finally, we will go through the steps involved in implementing PBKDF2 in our application and storing the passwords securely in our database. This is part 8 of the 13 part code-along video series on creating a chat application.
