Hash: SHA1

I wasn't aware you could pass $2a$ to os.crypt() to get a bcrypted
hash. I'll remember that.

I prefer a work factor of 15, I've heard 12-15 being recommended (no
references to give though). Anything larger and it takes too long for
the user to log in &c... 15 seemed "just right" to me.
