you can chekc all the logic in the documentation:

https://docs.qgis.org/3.10/en/docs/user_manual/auth_system/auth_overview.html

or directly reading the code of
QgsAuthManager (https://qgis.org/api/classQgsAuthManager.html)
and
QgsAuthCrypto that is used to manage dehashing  and based on QCA library (
https://qgis.org/api/classQgsAuthCrypto.html)
