var password = "myPassword";
// generate a password hash
pass.generate(password, function(error, hash){
if(error){
console.log("Error occured: "+error.message);
return;
}
// validate a password
pass.validate(password, hash, function(error, success){
if(error){
console.log("Error occured: "+error.message);
return;
}
console.log(success?"Passwords matched!":"No match!");
});
});
