hash-email-and-password

A Node.js package to generate an Algorand wallet address and mnemonic based on an email and password. The package hashes the email and password combination one million times using SHA-256 to ensure uniqueness and security, and then uses the resulting hash to generate an Algorand keypair.

Installation

Install the package via npm:

npm install hash-email-and-password

Usage

Import the generateWalletAddress function and use it to generate an Algorand wallet address and mnemonic by providing an email and password.

Example

const generateWalletAddress = require('hash-email-and-password');

const email = '[email protected]';
const password = 'password123';
const wallet = generateWalletAddress(email, password);

console.log('Address:', wallet.address);
console.log('Mnemonic:', wallet.mnemonic);

Output

The function returns an object containing the wallet address and mnemonic:

{
  "address": "ALGOWALLETADDRESS",
  "mnemonic": "mnemonic phrase for the wallet"
}

API

generateWalletAddress(email, password)

• email: string - The email used to generate the wallet.
• password: string - The password used to generate the wallet.

Returns: An object containing the following properties:

• address: string - The Algorand wallet address.
• mnemonic: string - The mnemonic phrase corresponding to the wallet's private key.

How It Works

1. Hash Generation: The email and password are concatenated and hashed using SHA-256. This hash is then repeatedly hashed one million times to ensure security.
2. Seed Generation: The resulting hash is converted to a 32-byte buffer, which is used as a seed.
3. Keypair Generation: The seed is used to generate an Algorand keypair (public and private keys).
4. Mnemonic Conversion: The private key is converted to a mnemonic phrase, which can be used to restore the wallet.
