Hash Password & Test Strength

Generate a password, check its strength score, hash it with bcrypt, and verify the hash output.

इस रेसिपी का उपयोग कब करें

Complete password security pipeline from generation to storage. Demonstrates best practices and why bcrypt is preferred over simple SHA hashing.

चरण

1

Generate a candidate password

प्रॉम्प्ट:Generate a 20-character password with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters
2

Evaluate password quality

प्रॉम्प्ट:Analyze the generated password for strength: entropy, crack time, and vulnerability to dictionary attacks
3

Create bcrypt hash for storage

प्रॉम्प्ट:Hash the password using bcrypt with cost factor 12
4

Compare hash algorithms

प्रॉम्प्ट:Also generate SHA-256 hash of the password for comparison — demonstrate why bcrypt is preferred over plain SHA

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Why bcrypt over SHA-256 for passwords?

bcrypt is intentionally slow (configurable cost factor) making brute-force attacks impractical. SHA-256 is fast, allowing billions of guesses per second on modern GPUs.

What cost factor should I use for bcrypt?

Cost 10-12 for most applications (100-400ms per hash). Increase for high-security systems. Test on your server — it should take 250ms-1s per hash.
