Important Security Notes
- Simple hashing (SHA, MD5) is NOT secure for passwords - use bcrypt, Argon2, or PBKDF2
- This tool demonstrates hashing algorithms for educational purposes
- Never store passwords as simple hashes in production systems
- MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and should not be used for security
- All hashing is performed locally in your browser
