A Node.js library providing bcrypt password hashing implemented as a native C++ addon. It handles salting and hashing passwords for secure storage and verification.
Use cases
- hash user passwords before storing them in a database
- verify passwords against bcrypt hashes at login
- generate salted password hashes with configurable cost
- migrate legacy password hashes to bcrypt
- securely store credentials in a Node.js backend
When to choose
- you need battle-tested bcrypt hashing in a Node.js application
- you want a native implementation for better hashing performance
- you need compatibility with existing bcrypt hashes from other systems
When to avoid
- you want a pure-JavaScript solution without native compilation (use bcrypt.js)
- you need modern password hashing like Argon2id
- you are hashing data other than passwords (use a regular hash function)
