micrograils/htpasswd repository overview

Usage:
htpasswd [-cimB25dpsDv] [-C cost] [-r rounds] passwordfile username
htpasswd -b[cmB25dpsDv] [-C cost] [-r rounds] passwordfile username password

        htpasswd -n[imB25dps] [-C cost] [-r rounds] username
        htpasswd -nb[mB25dps] [-C cost] [-r rounds] username password
-c  Create a new file.
-n  Don't update file; display results on stdout.
-b  Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it.
-i  Read password from stdin without verification (for script usage).
-m  Force MD5 hashing of the password (default).
-2  Force SHA-256 hashing of the password (secure).
-5  Force SHA-512 hashing of the password (secure).
-B  Force bcrypt hashing of the password (very secure).
-C  Set the computing time used for the bcrypt algorithm
(higher is more secure but slower, default: 5, valid: 4 to 17).
-r  Set the number of rounds used for the SHA-256, SHA-512 algorithms
(higher is more secure but slower, default: 5000).
-d  Force CRYPT hashing of the password (8 chars max, insecure).
-s  Force SHA-1 hashing of the password (insecure).
-p  Do not hash the password (plaintext, insecure).
-D  Delete the specified user.
-v  Verify password for the specified user.
On other systems than Windows and NetWare the '-p' flag will probably not work.
The SHA-1 algorithm does not use a salt and is less secure than the MD5 algorithm.
