Bcrypt Hash Generator

What is bcrypt?

• Bcrypt is a password hashing algorithm designed to be computationally slow to resist brute-force attacks.
• The cost factor (work factor) controls how slow the hashing is — each increment doubles the computation time. Factor 10 takes ~100ms; factor 14 takes ~1.5 seconds.
• Bcrypt automatically includes a random salt, so hashing the same password twice produces different hashes.
• Use bcrypt for storing user passwords in databases. Never store plain-text passwords.
