Anyone who runs software that needs to talk to their own Bitcoin Core node will need to configure that node to allow RPC access with the appropriate authentication. Bitcoin Core's rpcauth option requires the value to be in the form of: [username]:[saltedhashedpassword]

This tool makes it easier for users who are unfamiliar with running command line scripts to create the salted, hashed password value.

Bitcoin wallet developers may find this tool helpful to quickly generate credentials.

Bitcoin users who run Lightning Network nodes need to be able to configure the lightning node to talk to the Bitcoin node.
