🛡️ Bcrypt Generator & Verifier

Hash and compare text strings using the industry-standard Bcrypt algorithm.

ℹ️ About Bcrypt Generator & Verifier

Bcrypt is a robust, one-way password hashing function based on the Blowfish cipher. It is the industry standard for securing passwords because it automatically handles "salting" and has a configurable "cost factor" that determines how computationally expensive it is to compute the hash.

This complexity makes Bcrypt highly resistant to rainbow table attacks and brute-force attempts. This tool allows you to generate new hashes for testing or verify if a plain text string matches an existing hash. It is an essential utility for developers building or auditing authentication systems.

📖 How to use Bcrypt Generator & Verifier

  1. 1. Choose your mode: 'Generate Hash' to create a new one, or 'Verify Hash' to check a match.
  2. 2. Enter the plain text string (password) you wish to process.
  3. 3. If verifying, paste the existing Bcrypt hash into the 'Hash to Compare' field.
  4. 4. Click 'Run Tool' to see the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the hash different every time?

Bcrypt includes a unique random salt in every hash it generates. Even with the same password, the resulting string will be different, which is a key security feature.

What is the cost factor?

The cost factor (rounds) determines how many iterations the algorithm performs. A higher cost makes the hash more secure but slower to compute. This tool uses a standard cost of 12.

Is Bcrypt better than SHA-256?

For password storage, yes. SHA-256 is too fast, allowing attackers to try billions of combinations per second. Bcrypt is intentionally slow to thwart such attacks.
