Node.js hashing of passwords

Question

I am currently using the following for hashing passwords:

var pass_shasum = crypto.createHash(\'sha256\').update(req.body.password).digest(\'hex\');

Answer 1

Also there is bcrypt-nodejs module for node. https://github.com/shaneGirish/bcrypt-nodejs.

Previously I used already mentioned here bcrypt module, but fall into problems on win7 x64. On the other hand bcrypt-nodejs is pure JS implementation of bcrypt and does not have any dependencies at all.
