bcrypt is an adaptive hash function for storing passwords — slow by design to resist brute-force attacks.
bcrypt combines Blowfish encryption with a cost factor (rounds) that makes hashing intentionally slow. Each password gets a unique salt embedded in the output string starting with $2a$ or $2b$.
Never store plaintext passwords. Tentaco Bcrypt Hash generates hashes locally for development and testing — use proper server-side libraries in production and never paste real user passwords into untrusted sites.
