Password Hash Generator
Generate and verify secure password hashes using PBKDF2-SHA256
PBKDF2-SHA256 Password Hashing
This tool uses PBKDF2-SHA256, a browser-compatible alternative to bcrypt. All operations happen locally in your browser.
Higher iterations increase security but take longer to compute. 10,000 is recommended for most uses.
How it works
- Random 16-byte salt ensures unique hashes for identical passwords
- PBKDF2 with SHA-256 derives a 256-bit hash from password + salt
- Configurable iterations slow down brute-force attacks
- Output format: $pbkdf2-sha256$rounds=N$salt$hash
