Bcrypt Hash Generator & Verifier

Generate secure bcrypt hashes and verify passwords against existing hashes. Bcrypt is a password hashing function with built-in salt and configurable cost factor for enhanced security.

Hash Generation Settings

0 characters

4 (Fast)10 (Default)15 (Slow)

Higher values are more secure but slower. 10-12 is recommended for most applications.

✅ Recommended for Password Storage

  • Industry standard: Bcrypt is the most widely used password hashing algorithm
  • Built-in salt: Automatically generates unique salt for each password
  • Adaptive cost: Stays secure as hardware improves over time
  • Battle-tested: Used by major platforms and frameworks worldwide
  • OWASP approved: Recommended by security experts for password storage

📊 Technical Specifications

  • Algorithm: Based on Blowfish cipher with adaptive key schedule
  • Salt length: 128-bit (16 bytes) random salt
  • Output format: $2b$[cost]$[22 character salt][31 character hash]
  • Cost factor: Exponential (2^cost iterations)
  • Maximum password: 72 bytes (longer passwords are truncated)
  • • This tool uses real bcrypt implementation compatible with system tools

Cost Factor Recommendations

10-12: Standard web applications (100-400ms generation time)
13-14: High-security applications (800-3200ms generation time)
15+: Extremely sensitive data (6+ seconds generation time)
⚠️ Note: Higher cost factors provide better security but increase login time. Balance security with user experience.

About Bcrypt Hash Generator & Verifier

The Bcrypt Hash Generator & Verifier is a professional security tool that creates bcrypt password hashes and verifies passwords against existing bcrypt hashes. Bcrypt is an adaptive password hashing function that incorporates a salt and configurable cost factor (work factor) to protect against rainbow table attacks and ensure computational difficulty increases over time as hardware improves.

Why use a Bcrypt Hash Generator & Verifier?

Bcrypt is considered the gold standard for password hashing because it automatically handles salt generation and provides adjustable computational cost to counter evolving hardware capabilities. Unlike basic hash functions, bcrypt's adaptive nature means it remains secure against brute force attacks as computing power increases, making it the preferred choice for modern web applications and secure systems requiring robust password protection.

Who is it for?

Essential for web developers implementing user authentication systems, security engineers building secure applications, and backend developers managing user credentials. Perfect for full-stack developers working on login systems, DevSecOps teams establishing security standards, and anyone responsible for protecting user passwords in databases and applications.

How to use the tool

1

Enter the password you want to hash in the password input field

2

Select the desired cost factor (rounds) - higher values provide more security but require more computation time

3

Click generate to create a secure bcrypt hash with automatic salt generation

4

Copy the resulting bcrypt hash for storage in your database or application

5

For verification, enter both the original password and existing bcrypt hash to confirm they match
