.SH NAME
.HP
caddy-hash-password \- Hashes a password and writes base64
.SH SYNOPSIS
.HP
caddy hash-password [--algorithm <name>] [--salt <string>] [--plaintext <password>]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Convenient way to hash a plaintext password. The resulting
hash is written to stdout as a base64 string.

--plaintext, when omitted, will be read from stdin. If
Caddy is attached to a controlling tty, the plaintext will
not be echoed.

--algorithm may be bcrypt or scrypt. If script, the default
parameters are used.

Use the --salt flag for algorithms which require a salt to
be provided (scrypt).
