Answer 1

i use something like that

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "user"
    id = Column(BigInteger, primary_key=True, autoincrement=True)

    login = Column(String, nullable=False, unique=True)
    password = Column(String, nullable=False)

    @staticmethod
    def make_password_hash(password):
        hash = bcrypt.hashpw(password=password.encode('utf-8'), salt=bcrypt.gensalt())
        return hash.decode('utf-8')

    def is_password_valid(self, password):
        return bcrypt.checkpw(password.encode('utf-8'), self.password.encode('utf-8'))
