create a password in typescript

To create a password in TypeScript, you can use various algorithms to create a secure string. One way would be to generate a random string and then use a hashing algorithm to create a secure password. Here's an example:

index.ts
import * as crypto from "crypto";

function createPassword(password: string): string {
  const salt = crypto.randomBytes(8).toString("hex");
  const hashedPassword = crypto.pbkdf2Sync(password, salt, 10000, 64, "sha512").toString("hex");
  return `${salt}:${hashedPassword}`;
}
278 chars
8 lines

In this example, we're using the crypto module to generate a random salt and then using the PBKDF2 algorithm to hash the password. We're also concatenating the salt and hashed password together using a colon as a delimiter.

To verify a password created with this function, you can use the following code:

index.ts
function verifyPassword(password: string, hashedPassword: string): boolean {
  const [salt, storedHashedPassword] = hashedPassword.split(":");
  const hash = crypto.pbkdf2Sync(password, salt, 10000, 64, "sha512").toString("hex");
  return storedHashedPassword === hash;
}
272 chars
6 lines

In this function, we're splitting the salt and stored hashed password from the concatenated string and then hashing the password with the same salt to compare it with the stored hashed password.

Remember that security is a complex topic and this is just an example. It's important to follow best practices to create secure passwords and store them properly, such as salting and hashing.
