Common questions

How do I use the sha-256 hash generator?

Enter the exact text to hash. Select Calculate hash. Compare or copy the 64-character hexadecimal digest.

What should I check before using the result?

SHA-256 is a one-way digest, not encryption. Never use a plain SHA-256 hash as a password-storage scheme.
