Problem

-The need to securely hash passwords to protect user data, ensuring that sensitive information is not exposed even if the database is compromised.

Solution

-A command-line tool that allows users to hash passwords using different hashing algorithms (SHA-256, SHA-512, and MD5) with the flexibility to specify the desired hash type.

Changes proposed in this Pull Request :

• Implemented a password hashing tool that accepts user input for a password and hash type.
• Utilized the argparse module for command-line argument parsing, allowing for easy specification of the password and hashing algorithm.
• Provided default hashing algorithm as SHA-256 while allowing users to choose from SHA-512 and MD5.
• Output formatted to clearly indicate the hash type used along with the resulting hashed password.
