Frequently Asked Questions
Is MD5 still secure?
No — MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for security purposes (password hashing, digital signatures) due to known collision attacks. It's still fine for non-security checksums, like verifying a file wasn't corrupted in transfer.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The hash is computed entirely in your browser with a local implementation — nothing you type is ever transmitted anywhere.
What should I use instead of MD5 for security?
For password hashing use bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2. For general-purpose cryptographic hashing use SHA-256 or SHA-512.
