About the Hash Generator
The Hash Generator feeds UTF-8 bytes into the browser Web Crypto digest implementation. It is useful for checksums and demonstrations, but a bare fast hash is not an appropriate way to store user passwords.
How to use the Hash Generator
- Enter the exact text, including any line breaks.
- Choose an algorithm and output representation.
- Generate and compare the digest character for character.
Practical tips
- One changed byte produces a completely different digest.
- Use a dedicated slow password-hashing algorithm on the server for credentials.
