// Higher rounds = more secure but slower (Laravel default: 12)

// What is Bcrypt?

Bcrypt is a password hashing algorithm that automatically salts passwords and includes work factors (rounds) to make brute-force attacks computationally expensive.

// How Rounds Affect Security

Each increment in rounds doubles the computation time. Higher rounds (14-16) provide stronger security but slower performance. Laravel's default is 12, which balances both.

// Privacy Note

All hashing happens on our server and is not stored. Your passwords are processed in real-time and discarded immediately after the operation. It is highly recommended to use this generator only for temporary passwords and changes the passwords asap.

// Security Warning

Bcrypt is one-way hashing - hashes cannot be reversed to retrieve the original password. This tool uses Laravel's Hash facade with standard bcrypt (NOT your APP_KEY).
