Why Use Bcrypt for Password Storage?
Unlike raw MD5 or SHA-256 algorithms designed for maximum speed, Bcrypt is intentionally designed with an adaptive cost factor to remain computationally expensive. This slows down offline password cracking and dictionary attacks by orders of magnitude, making it the industry standard across Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Django, and Spring applications.
