Hash Password & Test Strength

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

Quando usar esta receita

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

Etapas

1

Generate a candidate password

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

Password Strength Checker

Experimente esta ferramenta

Evaluate password quality

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

Create bcrypt hash for storage

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

Compare hash algorithms

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

Perguntas frequentes

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.
