Frequently Asked Questions

Is MD5 secure for passwords?

No, MD5 is vulnerable to collision attacks. Use SHA-256 or bcrypt for storing sensitive password data.

Can I hash large files?

Currently, this tool is optimized for text and string hashing. For multi-gigabyte files, use command-line md5sum tools.
