Mathias Behrle noticed that the standard installation for GNU Health (gnuhealth-setup), is missing the bcrypt package.

Although Tryton fallbacks to SHA1 algorithm for hashing the passwords if it does not find bcrypt, we recommend to use Bcrypt.

Bcrypt is a "slow" hash algorithm, thus, makes it harder (from the time point of view) to brute force attacks, and the penalty from the login user is not noticeable (specially across the network).

We will release a new version for gnuhealth-setup (3.2.1), which will include bcrypt in the dependency list.

In the meantime, just install the bcrypt package manually with the gnuhealth user

gnuhealth $ pip3 install --user bcrypt

Don't forget to restart (no need to update) the Tryton server.

PS: This applies just to the standard / vanilla GNU Health distribution. Those installations that use pypi packages have already the dependency in place.
