Std.App.Password.matches

fn

This is a callable function.

What it does

Whether a password is the one a stored form was made from.

The comparison takes the same time whatever it is given. One that returned

as soon as two bytes differed would take a length of time that says how

much of the digest was right, which is enough to find the rest a byte at a

time.

Read the signature

• The text after the name is the type checked by Pudu.
• Read arrows from left to right: inputs come first, and the final type is returned.
• & borrows a value for this call instead of moving or copying it.
