Common questions
Is it safe to hash a password here?
The text never leaves your browser, so nothing is transmitted. But MD5 and SHA-1 are broken and even SHA-256 is unsuitable for storing passwords. Use a purpose-built password hash such as bcrypt or Argon2 for that.
Why are MD5 and SHA-1 still offered?
They remain common for non-security purposes such as checking a file download matches, or matching legacy records.
