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.

Xbase++

LOCAL oCrypt
LOCAL cBcryptHash

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

oCrypt := CreateObject("Chilkat.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.
oCrypt:BCryptWorkFactor := 10

cBcryptHash := oCrypt:BCryptHash("mySecretPassword")
? "BCrypt hash = " + cBcryptHash

//  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.
