TODO
- Specify database connection settings. With this you don't need to set a PDO connection, you can just specify the database credentials en the code will create a new PDO object for you.
- Just hash a password. This function just will hash a password, so you don't need to check it. This can be used on user registration.
- Add beter documenation.
