AI is taking over the world...let's get into it! OpenClaw, Claude Code, Manus, Perplexity, and whatever other weird AI stuff that comes along with a pinch of Python Programming thrown in from time to time. Check out my website JohnElder.AI and Codemy.com for more videos!

Video Description

In this video I'll show you how to hash passwords for Flask using Werkzeug! We're going to need to create a user authentication system, and the first step is to deal with user passwords. It's important not to store passwords in the database, instead we need to create and store something called a hash. We also need a system that can decipher the hashes and match them back up with their original password. That's what we'll start to build out in this video!
