Htpasswd Generator Update: bcrypt, Adjustable Cost and Apache MD5

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Our htpasswd generator now gives you a choice of bcrypt with an adjustable cost or Apache MD5 / APR1. Bcrypt is selected by default, with cost 10; costs 11 and 12 are available in Options. APR1 remains available when an existing server requires the older format.

This makes the tool useful both for setting up a new password-protected Apache directory and for maintaining an installation with specific compatibility requirements. You can generate an entry in your browser, copy it into an existing password file, or download it for installation on your server.
