bcrypt is suited for securely storing passwords (e.g. Apache with htpasswd -B). Higher cost = slower and more secure. All local.
bcrypt: hash passwords securely
bcrypt is a proven method for securely storing passwords. It is deliberately slow and uses a salt, so hashes cannot be attacked with rainbow tables. The tool generates hashes and checks whether a password matches a given hash.
- Cost factor: Determines how compute-intensive hashing is. Higher is more secure but slower (default 10).
- Salt included: Each hash contains its own random salt – the same password produces a different hash every time.
- Use: Password storage in web apps, Apache basic auth (
$2y$) and more.
