About Bcrypt

Bcrypt is an adaptive password hashing function designed by Niels Provos and David Mazières in 1999. It incorporates a salt and a configurable cost factor that makes brute-force attacks exponentially harder as computing power increases.

FAQ

What cost factor should I use?>

Cost factor 10 is a common default (~100ms per hash). For higher security, use 12+ but note it takes exponentially longer. Each increment doubles the computation time.
