Password Hash generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Password Hash generator creates test data by generating random passwords and encrypting them using hashing algorithms like MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, or SHA512. It can optionally use salt to enhance security, making each hash unique even for identical passwords. This generator is helpful for securely testing systems that handle user credentials or encrypt sensitive information.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Password Hash	fill with a password encrypted with optional Salt using MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 or SHA512	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name starts with ‘Password’ and ends with ‘Hash’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
The column name is ‘Password’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional settings

The tool allows you to configure the following:

Salt column: Choose between No salt or password_hash.
Password column: Select Random password string or password_hash.
Encryption type: Choose from MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, or SHA512.
Salt combining method: Specify whether to prepend or append the salt to the password.
Password text encoding: Choose password text encoding options, such as UTF7, UTF8, UTF32, BigEndianUnicode, or ASCII. UNICODE is a default option.
