Frequently Asked Questions
What is MD5 used for?
MD5 is commonly used for checksums, data integrity verification, and generating unique identifiers from data.
Is MD5 secure for passwords?
MD5 is not recommended for password hashing as it is vulnerable to collision attacks. Use SHA-256 or bcrypt for passwords.
Can I hash files?
This tool hashes text input. For files, you would need to read the file content first.
