Create a bcrypt hash on commandline

Its easy to create a bcrypt hash  on commandline with this command:

$> htpasswd -nbBC 10 USER PASSWORD

Just replace the Placeholder USER and PASSWORD with the corresponding values.

The Result should be something like that:

USER:$2y$10$gfPbhclOrdjmMLEXSc5CTOWP5aBfjl59hhGvjp/qWXf1FfbQKb5ca

The part before “:” is the username. The rest is the bcrypt password hash. The -C parameter specifies the computing time for the bcrypt algorithm. The higher the value the better is the security but also the runtime.
