Pbkdf2 password hashing library for Elixir.

Pbkdf2 is a well-tested password-based key derivation function that can be configured to remain slow and resistant to brute-force attacks even as computational power increases.

If you want the Pbkdf2 output to be in binary (raw) or hex format, you might find Plug.Crypto.KeyGenerator more convenient.

1. Add :pbkdf2_elixir to the deps section of your mix.exs file:

   def deps do
     [
       {:pbkdf2_elixir, "~> 1.4"}
     ]
   end

2. Optional: during tests (and tests only), you may want to reduce the number of rounds so it does not slow down your test suite. If you have a config/test.exs, you should add:

   config :pbkdf2_elixir, :rounds, 1
