Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bcrypt used for?
It is the most common hash algorithm for securely storing passwords in databases.
Why does it generate a different hash for the same password every time?
Bcrypt uses a random 'salt' for each hash generation. This increases security by ensuring that the same password looks different in the database, preventing rainbow table attacks. However, the verify function can still correctly identify if the password matches the hash.
