Password management is something that should generally not be reinvented unnecessarily, and Django endeavors to provide a secure and flexible set of tools for managing user passwords. This document describes how Django stores passwords, how the storage hashing can be configured, and some utilities to work with hashed passwords.
参见
Even though users may use strong passwords, attackers might be able to eavesdrop on their connections. Use HTTPS to avoid sending passwords (or any other sensitive data) over plain HTTP connections because they will be vulnerable to password sniffing.
Django provides a flexible password storage system and uses PBKDF2 by default.
The password attribute of a
User object is a string in this format:
<algorithm>$<iterations>$<salt>$<hash>
Those are the components used for storing a User's password, separated by the dollar-sign character and consist of: the hashing algorithm, the number of algorithm iterations (work factor), the random salt, and the resulting password hash. The algorithm is one of a number of one-way hashing or password storage algorithms Django can use; see below. Iterations describe the number of times the algorithm is run over the hash. Salt is the random seed used and the hash is the result of the one-way function.
By default, Django uses the PBKDF2 algorithm with a SHA256 hash, a password stretching mechanism recommended by NIST. This should be sufficient for most users: it's quite secure, requiring massive amounts of computing time to break.
However, depending on your requirements, you may choose a different algorithm, or even use a custom algorithm to match your specific security situation. Again, most users shouldn't need to do this -- if you're not sure, you probably don't. If you do, please read on:
Django chooses the algorithm to use by consulting the
PASSWORD_HASHERS setting. This is a list of hashing algorithm
classes that this Django installation supports. The first entry in this list
(that is, settings.PASSWORD_HASHERS[0]) will be used to store passwords,
and all the other entries are valid hashers that can be used to check existing
passwords. This means that if you want to use a different algorithm, you'll
need to modify PASSWORD_HASHERS to list your preferred algorithm
first in the list.
The default for PASSWORD_HASHERS is:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
]
This means that Django will use PBKDF2 to store all passwords but will support checking passwords stored with PBKDF2SHA1, argon2, and bcrypt.
The next few sections describe a couple of common ways advanced users may want to modify this setting.
Argon2 is the winner of the 2015 Password Hashing Competition, a community organized open competition to select a next generation hashing algorithm. It's designed not to be easier to compute on custom hardware than it is to compute on an ordinary CPU.
Argon2 is not the default for Django because it requires a third-party library. The Password Hashing Competition panel, however, recommends immediate use of Argon2 rather than the other algorithms supported by Django.
To use Argon2 as your default storage algorithm, do the following:
Install the argon2-cffi library. This can be done by running pip
install django[argon2], which is equivalent to pip install argon2-cffi
(along with any version requirement from Django's setup.py).
Modify PASSWORD_HASHERS to list Argon2PasswordHasher first.
That is, in your settings file, you'd put:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
]
Keep and/or add any entries in this list if you need Django to upgrade passwords.
bcrypt with Django¶Bcrypt is a popular password storage algorithm that's specifically designed for long-term password storage. It's not the default used by Django since it requires the use of third-party libraries, but since many people may want to use it Django supports bcrypt with minimal effort.
To use Bcrypt as your default storage algorithm, do the following:
Install the bcrypt library. This can be done by running pip install
django[bcrypt], which is equivalent to pip install bcrypt (along with
any version requirement from Django's setup.py).
Modify PASSWORD_HASHERS to list BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher
first. That is, in your settings file, you'd put:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher',
]
Keep and/or add any entries in this list if you need Django to upgrade passwords.
That's it -- now your Django install will use Bcrypt as the default storage algorithm.
The PBKDF2 and bcrypt algorithms use a number of iterations or rounds of
hashing. This deliberately slows down attackers, making attacks against hashed
passwords harder. However, as computing power increases, the number of
iterations needs to be increased. We've chosen a reasonable default (and will
increase it with each release of Django), but you may wish to tune it up or
down, depending on your security needs and available processing power. To do so,
you'll subclass the appropriate algorithm and override the iterations
parameters. For example, to increase the number of iterations used by the
default PBKDF2 algorithm:
Create a subclass of django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher:
from django.contrib.auth.hashers import PBKDF2PasswordHasher
class MyPBKDF2PasswordHasher(PBKDF2PasswordHasher):
"""
A subclass of PBKDF2PasswordHasher that uses 100 times more iterations.
"""
iterations = PBKDF2PasswordHasher.iterations * 100
Save this somewhere in your project. For example, you might put this in
a file like myproject/hashers.py.
Add your new hasher as the first entry in PASSWORD_HASHERS:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
'myproject.hashers.MyPBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
]
That's it -- now your Django install will use more iterations when it stores passwords using PBKDF2.
Argon2 has three attributes that can be customized:
time_cost controls the number of iterations within the hash.memory_cost controls the size of memory that must be used during the
computation of the hash.parallelism controls how many CPUs the computation of the hash can be
parallelized on.The default values of these attributes are probably fine for you. If you determine that the password hash is too fast or too slow, you can tweak it as follows:
parallelism to be the number of threads you can
spare computing the hash.memory_cost to be the KiB of memory you can spare.time_cost and measure the time hashing a password takes.
Pick a time_cost that takes an acceptable time for you.
If time_cost set to 1 is unacceptably slow, lower memory_cost.memory_cost interpretation
The argon2 command-line utility and some other libraries interpret the
memory_cost parameter differently from the value that Django uses. The
conversion is given by memory_cost == 2 ** memory_cost_commandline.
When users log in, if their passwords are stored with anything other than the preferred algorithm, Django will automatically upgrade the algorithm to the preferred one. This means that old installs of Django will get automatically more secure as users log in, and it also means that you can switch to new (and better) storage algorithms as they get invented.
However, Django can only upgrade passwords that use algorithms mentioned in
PASSWORD_HASHERS, so as you upgrade to new systems you should make
sure never to remove entries from this list. If you do, users using
unmentioned algorithms won't be able to upgrade. Hashed passwords will be
updated when increasing (or decreasing) the number of PBKDF2 iterations or
bcrypt rounds.
Be aware that if all the passwords in your database aren't encoded in the default hasher's algorithm, you may be vulnerable to a user enumeration timing attack due to a difference between the duration of a login request for a user with a password encoded in a non-default algorithm and the duration of a login request for a nonexistent user (which runs the default hasher). You may be able to mitigate this by upgrading older password hashes.
If you have an existing database with an older, weak hash such as MD5 or SHA1, you might want to upgrade those hashes yourself instead of waiting for the upgrade to happen when a user logs in (which may never happen if a user doesn't return to your site). In this case, you can use a "wrapped" password hasher.
For this example, we'll migrate a collection of SHA1 hashes to use
PBKDF2(SHA1(password)) and add the corresponding password hasher for checking
if a user entered the correct password on login. We assume we're using the
built-in User model and that our project has an accounts app. You can
modify the pattern to work with any algorithm or with a custom user model.
First, we'll add the custom hasher:
from django.contrib.auth.hashers import (
PBKDF2PasswordHasher, SHA1PasswordHasher,
)
class PBKDF2WrappedSHA1PasswordHasher(PBKDF2PasswordHasher):
algorithm = 'pbkdf2_wrapped_sha1'
def encode_sha1_hash(self, sha1_hash, salt, iterations=None):
return super().encode(sha1_hash, salt, iterations)
def encode(self, password, salt, iterations=None):
_, _, sha1_hash = SHA1PasswordHasher().encode(password, salt).split('$', 2)
return self.encode_sha1_hash(sha1_hash, salt, iterations)
The data migration might look something like:
from django.db import migrations
from ..hashers import PBKDF2WrappedSHA1PasswordHasher
def forwards_func(apps, schema_editor):
User = apps.get_model('auth', 'User')
users = User.objects.filter(password__startswith='sha1$')
hasher = PBKDF2WrappedSHA1PasswordHasher()
for user in users:
algorithm, salt, sha1_hash = user.password.split('$', 2)
user.password = hasher.encode_sha1_hash(sha1_hash, salt)
user.save(update_fields=['password'])
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
dependencies = [
('accounts', '0001_initial'),
# replace this with the latest migration in contrib.auth
('auth', '####_migration_name'),
]
operations = [
migrations.RunPython(forwards_func),
]
Be aware that this migration will take on the order of several minutes for several thousand users, depending on the speed of your hardware.
Finally, we'll add a PASSWORD_HASHERS setting:
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'accounts.hashers.PBKDF2WrappedSHA1PasswordHasher',
]
Include any other hashers that your site uses in this list.
The full list of hashers included in Django is:
[
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptPasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.SHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.MD5PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.UnsaltedSHA1PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.UnsaltedMD5PasswordHasher',
'django.contrib.auth.hashers.CryptPasswordHasher',
]
The corresponding algorithm names are:
pbkdf2_sha256pbkdf2_sha1argon2bcrypt_sha256bcryptsha1md5unsalted_sha1unsalted_md5cryptIf you write your own password hasher that contains a work factor such as a
number of iterations, you should implement a
harden_runtime(self, password, encoded) method to bridge the runtime gap
between the work factor supplied in the encoded password and the default
work factor of the hasher. This prevents a user enumeration timing attack due
to difference between a login request for a user with a password encoded in an
older number of iterations and a nonexistent user (which runs the default
hasher's default number of iterations).
Taking PBKDF2 as example, if encoded contains 20,000 iterations and the
hasher's default iterations is 30,000, the method should run password
through another 10,000 iterations of PBKDF2.
If your hasher doesn't have a work factor, implement the method as a no-op
(pass).
The django.contrib.auth.hashers module provides a set of functions
to create and validate hashed passwords. You can use them independently
from the User model.
check_password(password, encoded)[源代码]¶If you'd like to manually authenticate a user by comparing a plain-text
password to the hashed password in the database, use the convenience
function check_password(). It takes two arguments: the plain-text
password to check, and the full value of a user's password field in the
database to check against, and returns True if they match, False
otherwise.
make_password(password, salt=None, hasher='default')[源代码]¶Creates a hashed password in the format used by this application. It takes
one mandatory argument: the password in plain-text. Optionally, you can
provide a salt and a hashing algorithm to use, if you don't want to use the
defaults (first entry of PASSWORD_HASHERS setting). See
Included hashers for the algorithm name of each hasher. If the
password argument is None, an unusable password is returned (one that
will never be accepted by check_password()).
is_password_usable(encoded_password)[源代码]¶Returns False if the password is a result of
User.set_unusable_password().
In older versions, this also returns False if the password is
None or an empty string, or if the password uses a hasher that's
not in the PASSWORD_HASHERS setting. That behavior is
considered a bug as it prevents users with such passwords from
requesting a password reset.
Users often choose poor passwords. To help mitigate this problem, Django offers pluggable password validation. You can configure multiple password validators at the same time. A few validators are included in Django, but it's simple to write your own as well.
Each password validator must provide a help text to explain the requirements to the user, validate a given password and return an error message if it does not meet the requirements, and optionally receive passwords that have been set. Validators can also have optional settings to fine tune their behavior.
Validation is controlled by the AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS setting.
The default for the setting is an empty list, which means no validators are
applied. In new projects created with the default startproject
template, a simple set of validators is enabled.
By default, validators are used in the forms to reset or change passwords and
in the createsuperuser and changepassword management
commands. Validators aren't applied at the model level, for example in
User.objects.create_user() and create_superuser(), because we assume
that developers, not users, interact with Django at that level and also because
model validation doesn't automatically run as part of creating models.
注解
Password validation can prevent the use of many types of weak passwords. However, the fact that a password passes all the validators doesn't guarantee that it is a strong password. There are many factors that can weaken a password that are not detectable by even the most advanced password validators.
Password validation is configured in the
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS setting:
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
{
'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator',
},
{
'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.MinimumLengthValidator',
'OPTIONS': {
'min_length': 9,
}
},
{
'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.CommonPasswordValidator',
},
{
'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.NumericPasswordValidator',
},
]
This example enables all four included validators:
UserAttributeSimilarityValidator, which checks the similarity between
the password and a set of attributes of the user.MinimumLengthValidator, which simply checks whether the password meets a
minimum length. This validator is configured with a custom option: it now
requires the minimum length to be nine characters, instead of the default
eight.CommonPasswordValidator, which checks whether the password occurs in a
list of common passwords. By default, it compares to an included list of
20,000 common passwords.NumericPasswordValidator, which checks whether the password isn't
entirely numeric.For UserAttributeSimilarityValidator and CommonPasswordValidator,
we're simply using the default settings in this example.
NumericPasswordValidator has no settings.
The help texts and any errors from password validators are always returned in
the order they are listed in AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS.
Django includes four validators:
MinimumLengthValidator(min_length=8)[源代码]¶Validates whether the password meets a minimum length.
The minimum length can be customized with the min_length parameter.
UserAttributeSimilarityValidator(user_attributes=DEFAULT_USER_ATTRIBUTES, max_similarity=0.7)[源代码]¶Validates whether the password is sufficiently different from certain attributes of the user.
The user_attributes parameter should be an iterable of names of user
attributes to compare to. If this argument is not provided, the default
is used: 'username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email'.
Attributes that don't exist are ignored.
The minimum similarity of a rejected password can be set on a scale of 0 to
1 with the max_similarity parameter. A setting of 0 rejects all
passwords, whereas a setting of 1 rejects only passwords that are identical
to an attribute's value.
CommonPasswordValidator(password_list_path=DEFAULT_PASSWORD_LIST_PATH)[源代码]¶Validates whether the password is not a common password. This converts the password to lowercase (to do a case-insensitive comparison) and checks it against a list of 20,000 common password created by Royce Williams.
The password_list_path can be set to the path of a custom file of
common passwords. This file should contain one lowercase password per line
and may be plain text or gzipped.
In older versions, a list of 1,000 common passwords is used.
There are a few functions in django.contrib.auth.password_validation that
you can call from your own forms or other code to integrate password
validation. This can be useful if you use custom forms for password setting,
or if you have API calls that allow passwords to be set, for example.
validate_password(password, user=None, password_validators=None)[源代码]¶Validates a password. If all validators find the password valid, returns
None. If one or more validators reject the password, raises a
ValidationError with all the error messages
from the validators.
The user object is optional: if it's not provided, some validators may
not be able to perform any validation and will accept any password.
password_changed(password, user=None, password_validators=None)[源代码]¶Informs all validators that the password has been changed. This can be used by validators such as one that prevents password reuse. This should be called once the password has been successfully changed.
For subclasses of AbstractBaseUser,
the password field will be marked as "dirty" when calling
set_password() which
triggers a call to password_changed() after the user is saved.
password_validators_help_texts(password_validators=None)[源代码]¶Returns a list of the help texts of all validators. These explain the password requirements to the user.
password_validators_help_text_html(password_validators=None)¶Returns an HTML string with all help texts in an <ul>. This is
helpful when adding password validation to forms, as you can pass the
output directly to the help_text parameter of a form field.
get_password_validators(validator_config)[源代码]¶Returns a set of validator objects based on the validator_config
parameter. By default, all functions use the validators defined in
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS, but by calling this function with an
alternate set of validators and then passing the result into the
password_validators parameter of the other functions, your custom set
of validators will be used instead. This is useful when you have a typical
set of validators to use for most scenarios, but also have a special
situation that requires a custom set. If you always use the same set
of validators, there is no need to use this function, as the configuration
from AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS is used by default.
The structure of validator_config is identical to the
structure of AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS. The return value of
this function can be passed into the password_validators parameter
of the functions listed above.
Note that where the password is passed to one of these functions, this should always be the clear text password - not a hashed password.
If Django's built-in validators are not sufficient, you can write your own password validators. Validators are fairly simple classes. They must implement two methods:
validate(self, password, user=None): validate a password. Return
None if the password is valid, or raise a
ValidationError with an error message if the
password is not valid. You must be able to deal with user being
None - if that means your validator can't run, simply return None
for no error.get_help_text(): provide a help text to explain the requirements to
the user.Any items in the OPTIONS in AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS for your
validator will be passed to the constructor. All constructor arguments should
have a default value.
Here's a basic example of a validator, with one optional setting:
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
from django.utils.translation import gettext as _
class MinimumLengthValidator:
def __init__(self, min_length=8):
self.min_length = min_length
def validate(self, password, user=None):
if len(password) < self.min_length:
raise ValidationError(
_("This password must contain at least %(min_length)d characters."),
code='password_too_short',
params={'min_length': self.min_length},
)
def get_help_text(self):
return _(
"Your password must contain at least %(min_length)d characters."
% {'min_length': self.min_length}
)
You can also implement password_changed(password, user=None), which will
be called after a successful password change. That can be used to prevent
password reuse, for example. However, if you decide to store a user's previous
passwords, you should never do so in clear text.
