🔐 WordPress Hash Generator

Generate a bcrypt password hash locally in your browser. No account required.

Enter Password (Plain Text):

Processing password...

Enter a password to generate a bcrypt hash.

Generated bcrypt Hash:

Click the hash above or use the copy button.

Important: This tool generates a standard bcrypt hash. It does not guarantee compatibility with every WordPress version. For WordPress 6.8 and later, use the WordPress password-hashing implementation.

🔎 How the Hash Generator Works

Enter a password: Type the test password you want to hash.
Generate the hash: Click the Generate Hash button.
Bcrypt hashing: The browser-compatible bcryptjs library calculates a password hash using the configured cost factor.
Random salt: A random salt is generated as part of the bcrypt process. Therefore, the same password can produce different hashes.
Copy the result: Copy the generated hash for testing in a compatible application.

A bcrypt hash usually starts with a prefix such as $2a$ , $2b$ , or $2y$ , depending on the implementation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why hash a password?

Password hashing transforms a password into a one-way value. Applications store and verify password hashes instead of storing passwords in plain text.

2. Is my password sent to a server?

This implementation performs hashing in your browser. The hashing code does not send your password to a server. However, the page and its external library must be loaded first. For sensitive passwords, use a trusted local environment.

3. What does the cost factor mean?

The cost factor controls how computationally expensive bcrypt hashing is. A higher cost requires more work. This tool uses a cost factor of 10.

4. Why is the hash different each time?

Bcrypt generates a random salt for each hash. Different salts produce different hash strings even when the original password is identical.

5. Will this work with every WordPress version?

Not necessarily. WordPress 6.8 and later uses a WordPress-specific bcrypt password-hashing process that includes SHA-384 pre-hashing and a special prefix. A generic bcrypt hash should not be assumed to be a valid WordPress password hash. Use WordPress's own password-hashing function for the target site.
