Frequently asked questions
What is an MD5 hash?
MD5 turns any text into a 32-character fingerprint. It is useful for checksums, but it is not safe for protecting passwords.
Is SHA-256 better than MD5?
SHA-256 is a stronger hash and is the better choice when security matters. Neither should be used alone to store passwords.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Both hashes are calculated locally in your browser.
