Frequently asked questions
Is the text I hash sent to a server?
No. Hashing runs entirely in your browser via the Web Crypto API, so your input never leaves your device.
Why isn't MD5 here?
MD5 is cryptographically broken and not supported by the browser's secure crypto API. For integrity and security, SHA-256 or stronger is recommended.
