I wrote my own Filter lib/HTML/FormFu/Filter/myApp/Digest_SHA.pm
package HTML::FormFu::Filter::myApp::Digest_SHA; use strict; use warnings; use base 'HTML::FormFu::Filter'; use Digest::SHA qw/sha1_hex/; sub filter { my ( $self, $value, $params ) = @_; return sha1_hex($value); } 1; and in my create.yml - type: Password name: password filters: - type: "myApp::Digest_SHA" works fine, but since I also use the repeat_password constraint and the filter is applied before passwords are compared I will not use this approach and rather change the password prior to updating/inserting into the database.
