Password authentication

If token-based authentication does not work in your configuration, you can use password authentication in its place. This is done by setting the c.NotebookApp.password field in the jupyter_notebook_config.json file associated with your Notebook. You store the hash of your password in this field.

Assuming you have a secret to use for the hash, such as secret, you would then generate a hash using this Python script (which can be run in a Notebook!):

from notebook.auth import passwd 
passwd() 
> Enter password:secret 
> Verify password:secret 
Out[1]: 'sha1:67c9e60bb8b6:923423442ea597d771089e11aed'

Take the generated hash and store that in the config file parameter, such as:

c.NotebookApp.password='sha1:67c9e60bb8b6...'  ...
