## Overview

Production-ready password hashing utility that implements and compares the three industry-standard hashing algorithms: bcrypt, Argon2id, and PBKDF2-SHA256. Generates detailed security reports with benchmark comparisons and migration recommendations.

## Features

- **bcrypt Hashing** — Cost-factor configurable, salt auto-generation
- **Argon2id Hashing** — Memory, time, and parallelism parameters
- **PBKDF2-SHA256** — Iteration-count configurable
- **Algorithm Comparison** — Speed, security, and memory usage benchmarks
- **Security Reports** — Detailed recommendations for production use
- **Verification** — Password verification against stored hashes

## Quick Start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Raphasha27/Password-Hasher.git
cd Password-Hasher
pip install -r requirements.txt
python hasher.py --password "YourPasswordHere" --algorithm argon2
```
