Password generator with Javascript

,Back] Linux can use salted passwords where the username, hashing method and hashed password are stored in a password file [More details]. The main methods are:

  • Bcrypt. This is a secure method but can be slow. The default prefix is \$2y\$ or \$2a\$
  • md5 (APR). MD5 with salt. The default prefix is \$apr1\$.
  • crypt(). This used to be the default method, but is seen to be insecure (and limited to eight characters in password. There is no default prefix.
  • salted sha-1. This is a salted password using SHA-1 used to be the default method, but is seen to be insecure (and limited to eight characters in password. The default prefix is {SSHA}.
