What hash algorithm does this tool use?

This tool uses bcrypt, the most secure algorithm supported by htpasswd. It produces hashes prefixed with $2y$ that are compatible with Apache 2.4+ and Nginx.

Can I add multiple users?

Yes. You can generate multiple username:hash entries and they will all appear in the output, ready to paste into your .htpasswd file.

Is my password sent to a server?

No. All hashing happens locally in your browser using bcryptjs. Your password never leaves your device.

How do I use the generated output?

Copy the output and paste it into a file named .htpasswd on your server. Then configure your web server (Apache or Nginx) to use that file for basic authentication.
