Struct Secret

pub struct Secret<'a>(/* private fields */);

A secret that mixes with a password (and a salt) to create a hash. This is sometimes referred to as a “pepper.”

A 32-byte key is recommended. Do not use an alphanumeric password or passphrase; the entrophy of a 32-character password is much lower than the entrophy of a 32-byte key. This key should be generated with a cryptographically-secure random number generator and stored securely.
