Bcrypt Iteration Time

Estimate the time required to hash a password based on the Bcrypt cost factor.

Bcrypt is designed to be computationally expensive to thwart brute-force attacks. This tool calculates the exponential increase in work required as you increase the 'cost' factor, helping security engineers find the sweet spot between user experience and cryptographic security. A common goal is a 250ms hashing time. By understanding the math behind the cost factor, developers can adjust their authentication logic to stay ahead of increasing hardware speeds without making their login process frustratingly slow for legitimate users.
