Sha512 hashing in the Hashlib library producing different results each time the code is run

Question

I am trying to create a system that can hash a password, then I can store the hash and compare the hash to the inputted password. The issue is that whenever I run this code the hashes it produces are different with the same input. I have found out that the code produces the same output every execution on the same run, but is not consistent between runs.

Code:

import hashlib

def Sha512Hash(Password):
    HashedPassword=hashlib.sha512(Password.encode('utf-8'))
    print(HashedPassword)

Sha512Hash('Hi')
Sha512Hash('Hi')

Answer 1

Try this code :

import hashlib

def Sha512Hash(Password):
    HashedPassword=hashlib.sha512(Password.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
    print(HashedPassword)

Sha512Hash('Hi')
Sha512Hash('Hi')

And your output will be like this which do not have any problem
