Password Hash Tools

Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes for your passwords and text.

Privacy Notice: All tools run locally in your browser. No passwords are stored or transmitted.
Security Note: MD5 and SHA-1 are considered cryptographically weak and should not be used for password storage. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for better security, or better yet, use bcrypt/Argon2 for actual password hashing.

About Hashing

What is Hashing?

Hashing is a one-way process that converts data into a fixed-length string. Unlike encryption, hashed data cannot be reversed to obtain the original input.

Best Practices

For password storage, use modern algorithms like bcrypt, Argon2, or PBKDF2 with proper salt. These are designed specifically for password hashing.

Hash Algorithm Comparison

Algorithm Output Length Security Status
MD5 128 bits (32 hex chars) Broken - Collisions possible
SHA-1 160 bits (40 hex chars) Weak - Theoretically broken
SHA-256 256 bits (64 hex chars) Secure - No practical attacks
SHA-512 512 bits (128 hex chars) Very Secure - No practical attacks
