Bcrypt

Hash

Hash and verify bcrypt passwords

Unlike the general-purpose Hash Generator, this tool is built specifically around bcrypt's deliberately slow, cost-factor-tunable design: you can hash a plaintext password to check your auth backend's storage format, or verify a candidate password against an existing hash without writing a throwaway script. Everything runs locally in your browser via a JS bcrypt implementation, so passwords never leave your machine, but this is meant for testing and understanding bcrypt behavior, not for actual production password hashing, which should happen server-side with a properly maintained library and audited key handling. The cost factor is worth experimenting with here: 10-12 is a common default, but the right number depends on your server hardware, and you want hashing to land around 100-300ms to balance security against login latency.

How to use Bcrypt

  • 1.Enter a plaintext password and a cost factor to generate a bcrypt hash for testing your auth backend's storage format.
  • 2.Paste an existing bcrypt hash and a candidate password to verify whether they match, without writing a one-off script.
  • 3.Experiment with different cost factors to see the real tradeoff between hashing time and brute-force resistance before choosing one for production.

Frequently asked questions

Is my password sent to a server?
No, hashing and verification both run locally in your browser using a JS bcrypt implementation — your password never leaves your machine.
What cost factor should I use in production?
10-12 is a common default balancing security and login latency, but the right value depends on your server hardware — benchmark it so hashing takes roughly 100-300ms.
Should I use this for actual production password hashing?
Use this tool for testing, debugging, and understanding bcrypt behavior — in production, hash passwords server-side using a well-maintained bcrypt library so the cost factor and salt handling are consistent and auditable.
Why is bcrypt slower than SHA-256?
That's intentional — bcrypt is deliberately slow and configurable via its cost factor specifically to resist brute-force and rainbow-table attacks, unlike general-purpose hash functions like SHA-256.

Use via API, SDK, or MCP

Installnpm install @utilix-tech/sdk
Usageimport { hashing } from '@utilix-tech/sdk'
const hash = await hashing.hashPassword('my-secret-password', 12)
console.log(hash) // $2b$12$...
const valid = await hashing.verifyPassword('my-secret-password', hash)
console.log(valid) // true
