openssl passwd

June 8, 2020 by Mister PKI Leave a Comment

The openssl passwd command can be used to compute password hashes.

openssl passwd examples

To compute the password hash without a salt, run the following command:

openssl passwd -crypt password

To compute a salted password hash, run the following command using the crypt algorithm (which happens to be the default):

openssl passwd -crypt -salt some_salt password

To use any other algorithm, substitute -crypt with that algorithm. Supported password hashing algorithms include the following:

  • -crypt
  • -1 (MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1)
  • -apr1
  • -aixmd5
  • -5
  • -6
