Generate Password Hash
How This Tool Works
WordPress uses a password hashing system based on the Portable PHP password hashing framework (PHPass). This system:
- Uses multiple rounds of hashing for security
- Incorporates a salt to prevent rainbow table attacks
- Automatically updates to stronger algorithms over time
When you reset a WordPress password directly in the database, you need to use this specific hash format.
Common use cases for this tool include:
- Resetting a WordPress password directly in the database
- Migrating users between WordPress installations
- Testing authentication systems
- Recovering access when email reset isn't available
