About SHA-256 Hash
SHA-256 is the workhorse checksum of modern software - Git object IDs, TLS certificate fingerprints, package integrity hashes, blockchain blocks. If you need a quick, verifiable digest of some text, this is almost always the right algorithm.
Computed with the browser's native SubtleCrypto digest API and rendered as lowercase hex. It's a general-purpose hash, not a password hash - for storing user credentials, use bcrypt or Argon2 instead, which are deliberately slow.
FAQ
- Is this for passwords?
- Use dedicated password hashing (Argon2, bcrypt). SHA-256 alone is not password storage.
