About Password Encryption Utility
Keep your websites safe from hackers with our FREE Online Password Encryption Utility tool!
iLoveKeyword offers this handy tool to help you protect your website from hackers. Just having a password isn’t always enough to keep your site secure, but creating a strong password and encrypting it can make a big difference.
Modern web applications need to encrypt user passwords to prevent hackers from stealing sensitive information. Your users trust you with their passwords, so it's crucial to keep them safe to earn and maintain that trust.
We provide two free online tools to help: the Password Encryption Utility and the Password Strength Checker. First, use the Strength Checker to create a strong password, then encrypt it using our Encryption Tool.
How Does the Password Encryption Utility Work? In the past, safeguarding a website required a lot of effort to ensure user information remained secure. However, hackers still found ways to access this data. Our special encryption tool aims to help website owners secure their valuable data.
Our tool uses three encryption methods: standard DES, MD5, and SHA-1. Each method offers different levels of security. MD5 and SHA-1 are commonly used for password encryption but may not always be sufficient.
Can Someone Access My Password? No one except the user should know their password, not even the website owner. If a user forgets their password, they should request a password reset and create a new one for security.
The Algorithm and Rules of Password Encryption When encrypting passwords, certain rules must be followed. First, passwords are encrypted using a one-way process, making it impossible to decrypt them.
Passwords are verified by comparing digests rather than the actual passwords. For example, when a user signs in, the system compares the digest of their input to the stored digest. If they match, the password is considered valid.
To enhance security, two concepts are commonly used: salt and iteration count. Salt adds randomness to the encryption process, making it harder for attackers to crack passwords. The iteration count specifies how many times the encryption function is applied to its output.
Variable salt is preferred as it adds randomness to each password. A mix of fixed and variable salt can enhance security further. The minimum recommended salt size is 8 bytes, and the minimum iteration count is 1,000 for maximum security.
