+
+### Password Encoding
+
+The passwords within the user authentication module of SQLite are encoded with the SQLite function `sqlite_cryp`.
+This function uses a ceasar-cypher which is quite insecure.
+This library provides several additional password encoders which can be configured through the connection string.
+
+The password cypher can be configured with the key `_auth_crypt`. And if the configured password encoder also requires an
+salt this can be configured with `_auth_salt`.
+
+#### Available Encoders
+
+- SHA1
+- SSHA1 (Salted SHA1)
+- SHA256
+- SSHA256 (salted SHA256)
+- SHA384
+- SSHA384 (salted SHA384)
+- SHA512
+- SSHA512 (salted SHA512)
+
 ### Restrictions
 
 Operations on the database regarding to user management can only be preformed by an administrator user.
