`Argon2 <https://github.com/p-h-c/phc-winner-argon2>`_ won the `Password Hashing Competition <https://www.password-hashing.net/>`_ and *argon2-cffi* is the simplest way to use it in Python and PyPy:

.. code-block:: pycon

  >>> from argon2 import PasswordHasher
  >>> ph = PasswordHasher()
  >>> hash = ph.hash("correct horse battery staple")
  >>> hash  # doctest: +SKIP
  '$argon2id$v=19$m=65536,t=3,p=4$MIIRqgvgQbgj220jfp0MPA$YfwJSVjtjSU0zzV/P3S9nnQ/USre2wvJMjfCIjrTQbg'
  >>> ph.verify(hash, "correct horse battery staple")
  True
  >>> ph.check_needs_rehash(hash)
  False
  >>> ph.verify(hash, "Tr0ub4dor&3")
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
  argon2.exceptions.VerifyMismatchError: The password does not match the supplied hash
