Does my password get sent to your servers?

No. Hashing runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your plaintext password is never transmitted over the network or stored anywhere on our infrastructure.

Which hash algorithm should I choose?

Bcrypt is the recommended choice for any modern Apache or Nginx setup because it is resistant to brute-force attacks. Fall back to Apache MD5 only if your server is running a legacy version that does not support bcrypt.

Is this tool a replacement for a professional security review?

No. This tool only helps you generate .htpasswd file entries. A thorough security assessment of your web infrastructure requires a qualified security professional.

How do I verify the generated hash works?

The simplest check is to place the .htpasswd file on your server, configure the directive, and test with a browser request. You can also run 'htpasswd -v yourfile username' locally if you have the utility installed.

Can I add multiple users at once?

The tool generates one line per operation. Run it once per user and append each resulting line to the same .htpasswd file — each line is independent.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool works in any modern mobile browser. Use the show/hide password toggle to avoid typing mistakes on small keyboards.

Is there any usage fee?

Completely free — no account, no subscription, and no usage limits.
