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.

Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Crypt2;

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

$crypt = new 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.
$crypt->BCryptWorkFactor = 10;

$bcryptHash = $crypt->BCryptHash('mySecretPassword');
echo 'BCrypt hash = ', $bcryptHash, "\n";

// 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.
