Android Question BCrypt usage help [Solved]

[Revisable5987]

Hi
Currently using the BCrypt library by donmanfred but having a little trouble with 'checkpw', possibly due to me not quite understanding the correct syntax for this lib

This is what I am using in my code:

Private crypt As BCrypt
crypt.Initialize("")
If crypt.checkpw(string.Text, hash.Text)= True Then
'do something
    Else
    'do something else
End If

This works fine if the passwords match, however if the password is typed incorrectly my app crashes with log:

Error occurred on line: 131 (CreatePassword)

Here you go...

Spoiler: In the B4A Logs

Logger connected to: Google Pixel 2 XL
--------- beginning of main
*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **

    Private BCrypt As BCrypt
    Private MyName As String = "Peter Simpson"

    Log(BCrypt.HashPW(MyName))
    Log(BCrypt.HashPW2(MyName, 14))
    Log(BCrypt.CheckPW(MyName, "$2a$14$BPHO.gjywGwTOgDt/DbZUelO.6YCjG.3nW10QvCRcBFv4eUHhqIBa"))

Enjoy...

Thanks but problem solved!

It was my error. The database had some entries with unhashed test passwords.
The 'invalid salt version' error is thrown when using 'checkpw' on two text strings.
