Generate secure bcrypt password hashes for storing passwords safely in your database.

Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazières, based on the Blowfish cipher. It incorporates a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks and is intentionally slow to make brute-force attacks more difficult.

Features

• Configurable Salt Rounds: Adjust the computational cost (4-12 rounds recommended)
• Automatic Salt Generation: Each hash includes a unique salt
• Secure: Industry-standard password hashing algorithm
• Browser-based: All hashing happens locally in your browser, no data is sent outside!

How to Use

1. Enter the password you want to hash
2. Adjust the salt rounds (higher = more secure but slower)
3. Click "Generate Hash" to create the bcrypt hash
4. Copy the generated hash to store in your database

Salt Rounds

The salt rounds parameter determines how computationally expensive the hash function is. Each increment doubles the time required:

• 4-6 rounds: Fast, suitable for testing
• 8-10 rounds: Good balance for most applications
• 12+ rounds: Very secure but slower, suitable for high-security applications

Security Note

Never store passwords in plain text. Always use a secure hashing algorithm like bcrypt. The generated hash can be safely stored in your database and used to verify passwords during login.
