Mastering Python's Hash Lib and SHA256 for Secure Passwords & Blockchain Insights

This video answers the following questions:

- How does the hash lib library work in Python?
- What is the process for hashing a user's password using the "sha256" function?
- Why do we need to encode the string into bytes before hashing?
- How can we convert hashed bytes back into a string?
- What does it mean for hashing to be deterministic?
- Why is it important for hashed outputs to be unique even if the inputs are similar?
- How is password hashing used in the blockchain?

In this video, we'll explore how passwords are hashed inside code using Python's hash lib library. We'll walk through the process of converting a user's password into a hashed value using the "sha256" hashing function, and explain why it's crucial for hashed outputs to be different even if the inputs are similar.
