- The current implementation of `RandomString` doesn't give you a most-possible unique randomness. It gives you 6*`length` instead of the possible 8*`length` bits(or as `length`x bytes) randomness. This is because `RandomString` is being limited to a max value of 63, this in order to represent the random byte as a letter/digit.
- The recommendation of pbkdf2 is to use 64+ bit salt, which the `RandomString` doesn't give with a length of 10, instead of increasing 10 to a higher number, this patch adds a new function called `RandomBytes` which does give you the guarentee of 8*`length` randomness and thus corresponding of `length`x bytes randomness.
- Use hexadecimal to store the bytes value in the database, as mentioned, it doesn't play nice in order to convert it to a string. This will always be a length of 32(with `length` being 16).
- When we detect on `Authenticate`(source: db) that a user has the old format of salt, re-hash the password such that the user will have it's password hashed with increased salt.
Thanks to @zeripath for working out the rouge edges from my first commit 😄.
