I guess it depends on the cost to you or your organization of having
someone you don't want/know getting access to information that should be
password protected.

A thorough argument for bcrypt rather than md5/SHA is made here:

I use it because for roughly the same number of lines of code passwords
are much harder to crack.

Why not just something like

| password cryptedPassword |

password := UITheme current passwordEntryIn: World text: 'Password'
title: 'Title' entryText: ''.
cryptedPassword := MD5 new initialize hashStream: password readStream

?

For an example of the login process using Pharo + Seaside see

Which you can probably adapt for just Pharo


To store the passwords, if you're on linux, use the bcrypt
implementation in the PasswordHashingFFI package from here:

http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography.html

I'd be interested in getting PasswordHashingFFI working on Windows or
MacOSX so would help if I can.  But using it makes your implementation
depend upon an external library you'd likely have to find and supply for
users.

Hello people, I'm making a Practical Work in Pharo with my classmates,
the Work should be a fully working application to manage a University
Library. At the moment we have most of the work done, I must say it's
messy and far from being beautiful, but it works and it's likely to be
approved. Here is what's done so far:
https://github.com/arguser/Paradigmas-Final

Most of the work was doing making research and guided mostly y examples,
so far I didn't find how to do or make work some features:
* A Dialog which prompts for User and Password (We don't know how to
implement it in-code either)
* Block a father window when a child is made, so the father window can't
be closed if a child window exist.
* Make some content of windows change size dynamically.
* Search only for filled-in fields from search form.

If any advice or example can be given addressing the previous matters it
will be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
