Overview
dbcrypt is a Dart implementation of jBCrypt, providing secure password hashing using the BCrypt algorithm. It supports configurable work factors to balance security and performance, enabling safe storage of passwords. The package allows users to hash passwords during registration and verify them during authentication. Designed for cross-platform use, it works seamlessly across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Ideal for applications requiring robust password protection with minimal setup.
