Password salt

What is actual password salt? In api documentation said that it is "choujin-steiner--your-password--", but `read password; echo "choujin-steiner--${password}--" | sha1sum` gives different hash then in the cookie.

That's the correct salt. Your problem is that echo is automatically appending a newline to its output. Try this:

echo -n "choujin-steiner--${password}--" | sha1sum

Thanks, didn't thinked about this thing. Seems like '<<<' bash operator adds newline too.
