🛡️ Hash Algorithm Guide
MD5
128-bit
Broken for security. Use only for checksums.
SHA1
160-bit
Deprecated. Avoid for new projects.
SHA256
256-bit
Recommended standard. Good for most uses.
SHA512
512-bit
Stronger. Best for high security needs.
SHA3-256
256-bit
Latest NIST standard. Most secure option.
Whirlpool
512-bit
European standard. Very secure.
⚠️ Never use MD5 or SHA1 for passwords! Use bcrypt or Argon2 instead.
