NAME
caddy-hash-password - Hashes a password and writes base64
SYNOPSIS
caddy hash-password [flags]
DESCRIPTION
Convenient way to hash a plaintext password. The resulting hash is written to stdout as a base64 string.
--plaintext, when omitted, will be read from stdin. If Caddy is attached to a controlling tty, the plaintext will not be echoed.
--algorithm may be bcrypt or scrypt. If scrypt, the default parameters are used.
Use the --salt flag for algorithms which require a salt to be provided (scrypt).
Note that scrypt is deprecated. Please use 'bcrypt' instead.
