BCrypt Hash a Password

See more Encryption Examples

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

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

var crypt = new CkCrypt2();

// 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.BCryptWorkFactor = 10;

var bcryptHash = crypt.BCryptHash("mySecretPassword");
console.log("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.
