// Security note: All hashing runs locally in your browser. No passwords are transmitted. MD5 authentication is deprecated in PostgreSQL 15+. Use SCRAM-SHA-256 for new installations.

Database Hash Generation Instructions

  1. Enter the password you wish to secure for your database user.
  2. Provide the PostgreSQL username (this acts as the salt for MD5).
  3. Click "Generate Hash" to compute the result locally.
  4. Copy the resulting hash or the provided ALTER USER SQL command.

PostgreSQL Password Generator allows you to create secure MD5 and SCRAM password hashes directly in your browser. This database security tool ensures your credentials never leave your device, providing a safe way to generate strings for SQL migrations or configuration files.

Postgres Hashing Logic

PostgreSQL Password Generator is a browser-side security utility built for speed and simplicity. This hash calculator implements the standard Postgres MD5 format: md5 + MD5(password + username). The tool handles edge cases - empty inputs, special characters, and Unicode - without transmitting any data to external servers. For modern installations, we recommend using SCRAM-SHA-256 password encryption, though MD5 remains common for legacy compatibility.
