# Security Policy

Security is very important for FastAPI and its community. 🔒

Learn more about it below. 👇

## Versions

The latest version of FastAPI is supported.

You are encouraged to [write tests](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/testing/) for your application and update your FastAPI version frequently after ensuring that your tests are passing. This way you will benefit from the latest features, bug fixes, and **security fixes**.

    * An example is `404`, for a "Not Found" response.
    * For generic errors from the client, you can just use `400`.
* `500` and above are for server errors. You almost never use them directly. When something goes wrong at some part in your application code, or server, it will automatically return one of these status codes.

!!! tip

{!../../../docs_src/openapi_callbacks/tutorial001.py!}
```

There are 2 main differences from a normal *path operation*:

* It doesn't need to have any actual code, because your app will never call this code. It's only used to document the *external API*. So, the function could just have `pass`.

* The **input model** needs to be able to have a password.
* The **output model** should not have a password.
* The **database model** would probably need to have a hashed password.

!!! danger
    Never store user's plaintext passwords. Always store a "secure hash" that you can then verify.

Or you might have any other way to communicate with the WebSocket endpoint.

But for this example, we'll use a very simple HTML document with some JavaScript, all inside a long string.

This, of course, is not optimal and you wouldn't use it for production.

In production you would have one of the options above.

        Thanks for your interest in FastAPI! 🚀

        Please follow these instructions, fill every question, and do every step. 🙏

        I'm asking this because answering questions and solving problems in GitHub is what consumes most of the time.

    return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}


@app.put("/items/{item_id}")
def update_item(item_id: int, item: Item):
    return {"item_name": item.name, "item_id": item_id}
```

O servidor deverá recarregar automaticamente (porquê você adicionou `--reload` ao comando `uvicorn` acima).

// Verwenden Sie das Kommando „serve“ nachdem Sie „build-all“ ausgeführt haben.

Warning: this is a very simple server. For development, use mkdocs serve instead.
This is here only to preview a site with translations already built.
Make sure you run the build-all command first.
