About this Tool
Use this browser-based password hash generator for testing, development and migration work. Choose a supported password-hashing algorithm, generate a random salt and review the resulting encoded hash without transmitting the password.
Examples
- Hash a password with PBKDF2
- Hash a password with scrypt
- Generate a salted password hash
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a salt required?
A random salt prevents identical passwords from producing identical stored hashes and makes precomputed attacks less effective.
Can I use the generated hash in production?
The result can be used for testing, but production password hashing should be performed inside the trusted application backend with reviewed parameters.
