Password Hash

Generate and verify password hashes with bcrypt, SHA and MD5 — entirely in your browser.

The hash is calculated entirely in your browser: the password never leaves this page.

Password hashing vs encryption

Hashing is a one-way transformation — you can verify a password matches a hash but cannot reverse the hash to get the original password. This is why good systems store hashes, not passwords.

Algorithm recommendations

  • bcrypt — recommended for password storage (slow by design)
  • SHA-256/512 — fast, not suitable for password storage alone
  • MD5 — deprecated for security use
