BCrypt.Net-Next is a C# port of jBCrypt for password hashing on .NET, using a Blowfish-based keying schedule with a configurable work factor. It provides simple HashPassword and Verify methods with forward/backward-compatible hashes.
Use cases
- hash user passwords in a .NET application
- verify passwords against bcrypt hashes
- store password hashes that stay secure as hardware gets faster
- migrate legacy bcrypt hashes from other platforms
- generate salts automatically for password hashing
When to choose
- you need battle-tested bcrypt password hashing in C# or .NET Core
- you want jBCrypt-compatible hashes with cross-platform verification
- you need a work-factor-based algorithm that can be tuned over time
When to avoid
- you need memory-hard hashing like Argon2id for modern workloads
- you are hashing data rather than passwords
- your project is not on the .NET platform
