About Random Salt

A salt is a random value added when hashing a password or deriving a key, so two identical passwords produce different hashes and rainbow tables become useless.

A salt must be unique per password and need not be secret (stored alongside the hash). This tool generates a random salt (default 16 bytes) in hex and Base64.

Use this salt with PBKDF2, scrypt, or Argon2. Many modern password-hashing functions generate and store the salt automatically.

FAQ

Are my data or keys sent to a server?

No. Random Salt runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API and client-side libraries. Your data, passwords, and keys never leave your device.
