Password Hash Generator
Create a salted PBKDF2-SHA256 (600,000 iterations) or bcrypt password hash. Free and private: runs in your browser.
Enter a password to get a secure, salted hash in a standard storage format, ready for seeding users in test environments.
Hashing runs locally in your browser. Your input never leaves this page.
Use cases
- Set or review a password policy for your app.
- Create strong credentials for test and service accounts.
- Explain to users why a password was rejected.
Frequently asked questions
Why not hash passwords with SHA-256?
SHA-256 is designed to be fast, so attackers can try billions of guesses per second. Password hashes are deliberately slow and salted.
Is the Password Hash Generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your input is never uploaded or stored.
Is hashing the same as encryption?
No. A hash is one-way: you cannot get the input back. Encryption is reversible with a key. Use slow password hashes (bcrypt, Argon2, PBKDF2) for passwords and fast hashes (SHA-256) for integrity checks.
