Error trying to encrypt with BCRYPT in Python

Question

Code:

import bcrypt
hashed = bcrypt.hashpw('teste',bcrypt.gensalt())

error:

Typeerror: Unicode-Objects must be encoded before hashing

Running the program shows this error, how can I fix?

Answer 1

The parameter must be of the type bytes, you can call it two ways, giving a cast to bytes

hashed = bcrypt.hashpw(b'teste',bcrypt.gensalt())

or using an encoding:

hashed = bcrypt.hashpw('teste'.encode("utf-8"),bcrypt.gensalt())
