Creates a hashed password in the format used by this application. It takes
two arguments: hashing algorithm to use and the password in plain-text.
Currently supported algorithms are: ``'sha1'``, ``'md5'`` and ``'crypt'``
if you have the ``crypt`` library installed. If the second argument is
one mandatory argument: the password in plain-text. Optionally, you can
provide a salt and a hashing algorithm to use, if you don't want to use the
defaults (first entry of ``PASSWORD_HASHERS`` setting).
Currently supported algorithms are: ``'pbkdf2_sha256'``, ``'pbkdf2_sha1'``,
``'bcrypt'`` (see :ref:`bcrypt_usage`), ``'sha1'``, ``'md5'``,
``'unsalted_md5'`` (only for backward compatibility) and ``'crypt'``
if you have the ``crypt`` library installed. If the password argument is
``None``, an unusable password is returned (a one that will be never
accepted by :func:`django.contrib.auth.hashers.check_password`).
