Understanding Bcrypt
What is Bcrypt?
Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed to be slow and computationally expensive, making it resistant to brute-force attacks.
It uses a salt to prevent rainbow table attacks and has an adjustable cost parameter to scale with computing power.

Cost Factor Guide
Cost 4:
~0.0015s (Too Fast)
Cost 8:
~0.025s (Fast)
Cost 10:
~0.1s (Recommended)
Cost 12:
~0.4s (Good)
Cost 15:
~3.2s (Very Secure)
Recommendation: Use cost 12 for most applications. Increase if your server can handle longer hash times.

Implementation Examples
PHP Implementation
// Hash a password
$password = 'user_password';
$hash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, [
'cost' => 12
]);
// Verify a password
$is_valid = password_verify($password, $hash);
if ($is_valid) {
echo "Password is correct!";
} else {
echo "Invalid password!";
}
Node.js Implementation
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
// Hash a password
const password = 'user_password';
const saltRounds = 12;
bcrypt.hash(password, saltRounds, (err, hash) => {
// Store hash in database
});
// Verify a password
bcrypt.compare(password, hash, (err, result) => {
if (result) {
console.log("Password is correct!");
} else {
console.log("Invalid password!");
}
});

Best Practices
- ✅ Never store plain text passwords
- ✅ Use cost factor 10-12 for most applications
- ✅ Always verify passwords using bcrypt compare
- ✅ Consider server performance when choosing cost
- ✅ Increase cost factor as hardware improves
- ✅ Use HTTPS when transmitting passwords
