Bcrypt Hash Generator Online

If you are storing user passwords in a database using MD5 or SHA-256, please stop immediately. Those algorithms are designed to be fast, which means hackers can brute-force millions of guesses per second. This Bcrypt Generator is built to help developers create properly salted, intentionally slow password hashes that are practically immune to rainbow table attacks.

Why Bcrypt is the Industry Standard

The brilliance of Bcrypt is the 'Work Factor' (or rounds). You can configure exactly how slow the hashing process is. If hardware gets faster in 5 years, you just increase the rounds, effectively future-proofing your database security.

No Need for a Salt Column

One of my favorite things about Bcrypt is that it handles salting automatically. When you generate a hash here, it creates a random salt, appends it to your string, and bundles the algorithm version, the work factor, the salt, and the final hash into one single string (like $2a$12$R9h...). You just save that one string to your database.

Client-Side Hashing

Normally, you'd run Bcrypt on your backend server. But if you need to manually generate a secure admin password hash to seed a database, doing it via a server-side web tool is a massive security risk. This tool uses a JavaScript implementation to run the hashing algorithms entirely in your browser. Your plaintext password never leaves your device.
