/* Generate the "timed hash" used to get access.
* The password is hashed with the database's salt, afterwards it is hashed again with a timestamp a few days in the future as "salt".
* The server checks the two hashe's equality as usual, but also checks whether this timestamp is still in the future (grant access)
* or if it has passed (deny access). This provides an saved-password expiry mechanism which is a) independent of the browser's cookie
* retention and b) provides some level of security against "cookie stealing" (be it by xss or otherwise): If Eve steals a cookie, she
* does "only" get a timed-hash lifetime access to the pad, but *not* the actual password.
