BCrypt Hash a Password

See more Encryption Examples

Example to BCrypt hash a password.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.

Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.Crypt2;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
        // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

        Crypt2 crypt = new Crypt2();

        // The BCrypt cost factor (work factor) can be set to a value from 4 to 31.
        // The default value is 10.  We'll set it here explicitly to the default value
        // to make this new property known.  This line of code can be omitted
        // if the default value of 10 is desired.
        crypt.setBCryptWorkFactor(10);

        String bcryptHash = crypt.bCryptHash("mySecretPassword");
        System.out.println("BCrypt hash = " + bcryptHash);

        // Sample output:
        // BCrypt hash = $2a$10$H5kIVktMGzAPKGKNAe9DVu0iwEqfhv/o4MMJ/Dzw/MPy1leOE9NOK

        // Note: Your output will be different because the BCryptHash method
        // automatically generates a random salt.
