## Options
### path
{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}
The path to the file with the user details list. Supported file types are:
* [YAML File](../../reference/guides/passwords.md#yaml-format)
### watch
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
Enables reloading the database by watching it for changes.
## Password Options
A [reference guide](../../reference/guides/passwords.md) exists specifically for choosing password hashing values. This
section contains far more information than is practical to include in this configuration document. See the
[Passwords Reference Guide](../../reference/guides/passwords.md) for more information.
This guide contains examples such as the [User / Password File](../../reference/guides/passwords.md#user--password-file).
### algorithm
{{< confkey type="string" default="argon2" required="no" >}}
Controls the hashing algorithm used for hashing new passwords. Value must be one of:
* `argon2` for the [Argon2](#argon2) algorithm
* `scrypt` for the [Scrypt](#scrypt) algorithm
* `pbkdf2` for the [PBKDF2](#pbkdf2) algorithm
* `sha2crypt` for the [SHA2Crypt](#sha2crypt) algorithm
* `bcrypt` for the [Bcrypt](#bcrypt) algorithm
### argon2
The [Argon2] algorithm implementation. This is one of the only algorithms that was designed purely with password hashing
in mind and is subsequently one of the best algorithms to date for security.
#### variant
{{< confkey type="string" default="argon2id" required="no" >}}
Controls the variant when hashing passwords using [Argon2]. Recommended `argon2id`.
Permitted values `argon2id`, `argon2i`, `argon2d`.
#### iterations
{{< confkey type="integer" default="3" required="no" >}}
Controls the number of iterations when hashing passwords using [Argon2].
#### memory
{{< confkey type="integer" default="65536" required="no" >}}
Controls the amount of memory in kibibytes when hashing passwords using [Argon2].
#### parallelism
{{< confkey type="integer" default="4" required="no" >}}
Controls the parallelism factor when hashing passwords using [Argon2].
#### key_length
{{< confkey type="integer" default="32" required="no" >}}
Controls the output key length when hashing passwords using [Argon2].
#### salt_length
{{< confkey type="integer" default="16" required="no" >}}
Controls the output salt length when hashing passwords using [Argon2].
### scrypt
The [Scrypt] algorithm implementation.
#### iterations
{{< confkey type="integer" default="16" required="no" >}}
Controls the number of iterations when hashing passwords using [Scrypt].
#### block_size
{{< confkey type="integer" default="8" required="no" >}}
Controls the block size when hashing passwords using [Scrypt].
#### parallelism
{{< confkey type="integer" default="1" required="no" >}}
Controls the parallelism factor when hashing passwords using [Scrypt].
#### key_length
{{< confkey type="integer" default="32" required="no" >}}
Controls the output key length when hashing passwords using [Scrypt].
#### salt_length
{{< confkey type="integer" default="16" required="no" >}}
Controls the output salt length when hashing passwords using [Scrypt].
### pbkdf2
The [PBKDF2] algorithm implementation.
#### variant
{{< confkey type="string" default="sha512" required="no" >}}
Controls the variant when hashing passwords using [PBKDF2]. Recommended `sha512`.
Permitted values `sha1`, `sha224`, `sha256`, `sha384`, `sha512`.
#### iterations
{{< confkey type="integer" default="310000" required="no" >}}
Controls the number of iterations when hashing passwords using [PBKDF2].
#### salt_length
{{< confkey type="integer" default="16" required="no" >}}
Controls the output salt length when hashing passwords using [PBKDF2].
### sha2crypt
The [SHA2 Crypt] algorithm implementation.
#### variant
{{< confkey type="string" default="sha512" required="no" >}}
Controls the variant when hashing passwords using [SHA2 Crypt]. Recommended `sha512`.
Permitted values `sha256`, `sha512`.
#### iterations
{{< confkey type="integer" default="50000" required="no" >}}
Controls the number of iterations when hashing passwords using [SHA2 Crypt].
#### salt_length
{{< confkey type="integer" default="16" required="no" >}}
Controls the output salt length when hashing passwords using [SHA2 Crypt].
### bcrypt
The [Bcrypt] algorithm implementation.
#### variant
{{< confkey type="string" default="standard" required="no" >}}
Controls the variant when hashing passwords using [Bcrypt]. Recommended `standard`.
Permitted values `standard`, `sha256`.
*__Important Note:__ The `sha256` variant is a special variant designed by
[Passlib](https://passlib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/lib/passlib.hash.bcrypt_sha256.html). This variant passes the
password through a SHA256 HMAC before passing it to the [Bcrypt] algorithm, effectively bypassing the 72 byte password
truncation that [Bcrypt] does. It is not supported by many other systems.*
#### cost
{{< confkey type="integer" default="12" required="no" >}}
Controls the hashing cost when hashing passwords using [Bcrypt].
