Bcrypt is a password hashing function designed by Nelis Provos and David Mazières. Bcrypt uses strong cryptography to hash and salts password based on the Blowfish cipher. To make encryption stronger we can increase the “cost factor” so it can be increased as computers become faster. It is also intended to be slow, to make the brute force attacks slower and harder.
