Bcrypt Generator & Checker

Hash passwords with bcrypt and verify a password against a bcrypt hash.

Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed to be slow and computationally expensive, making brute-force attacks impractical. The cost factor controls how many rounds of hashing are performed β€” each increment doubles the work. This tool runs entirely in your browser using bcryptjs.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Enter your password

    Type the plaintext password you want to hash in the input field.

  2. 2

    Set cost factor

    Choose a cost factor (10–14 recommended). Higher = slower hashing = more secure against brute force.

  3. 3

    Hash or verify

    Click "Hash" to generate the bcrypt hash, or switch to the Verify tab to check a password against an existing hash.
