Why should I use Bcrypt for password hashing?

Bcrypt is a strong password hashing function that helps protect user passwords from being easily cracked.

What makes Bcrypt better than other hashing algorithms?

Bcrypt incorporates a salt to protect against rainbow table attacks and is adaptive, meaning it can be configured to be slower as hardware improves.

Is Bcrypt suitable for all types of applications?

Yes, Bcrypt is suitable for most applications that require secure password storage, especially web applications.

Are there any downsides to using Bcrypt?

The main downside is that it can be slower than other algorithms, which may impact performance in high-load scenarios.
