Bcrypt Password Hash
Generate bcrypt hashes locally. Bcrypt is an adaptive password hashing function resistant to brute-force attacks.
How to Use
Input Your Password
Enter the password you want to hash. The tool uses the bcrypt algorithm for high security.
Adjust Cost Factor
Select the number of rounds (cost factor). Higher rounds increase security but take longer to compute.
Copy the Hash
Once generated, the hash is displayed. Use the copy button to save it for your database or application.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bcrypt?
Bcrypt is a password-hashing function based on the Blowfish cipher. It's designed to be slow and computationally expensive, making it very resistant to brute-force attacks.
Why is Bcrypt considered secure?
Bcrypt incorporates a 'salt' to protect against rainbow table attacks and is 'adaptive,' meaning you can increase the cost factor as hardware gets faster, keeping it secure over time.
What is the recommended cost factor?
For most applications, a cost factor of 10 to 12 is a good balance between security and performance. As server power increases, you should consider higher values.
