Security

Weak and reused passwords are still the most common way accounts are broken into. The Password Generator builds long random passwords from the character types you choose, and the Password Strength Test shows why a password is weak or strong.

The hash generators turn any text into a fixed-length fingerprint. MD5 and SHA hashes are useful for checking that data has not changed, while bcrypt is the kind of slow, salted hash that should be used to store passwords. The UUID Generator creates random identifiers for databases and test data.
