Description
The Bcrypt Generator creates secure password hashes using the bcrypt algorithm. Bcrypt is specifically designed for password storage, with built-in salting and configurable work factors to resist brute-force attacks.
Key features
- Configurable cost/work factor
- Automatic salt generation
- Secure password hashing
- Industry-standard algorithm
- Resistant to rainbow table attacks
Common use cases
- Password storage for applications
- User authentication systems
- Secure credential management
- Database password storage
Privacy & security: All hashing happens locally in your browser. Your passwords are never transmitted.
How to Use
- Enter the password you want to hash.
- Set the cost factor (higher = more secure but slower).
- Click "Generate Hash" to create the bcrypt hash.
- Copy the hash for storage.
Tips
- Use cost 10-12 for production systems.
- Higher cost means slower hashing, which is better for security.
- Each hash includes a unique salt automatically.
- Never store plain-text passwords.
Example
Example: Password Hashing

Bcrypt hash with embedded salt and cost factor.
FAQ
What is bcrypt?
Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed specifically for secure password storage with built-in salting.
What cost factor should I use?
Cost 10-12 is recommended for production. Higher values increase security but slow down hashing.
Why is bcrypt better than SHA-256 for passwords?
Bcrypt is specifically designed for passwords with adaptive work factor, making brute-force attacks impractical.
