MD5 vs SHA-256 vs SHA-512: which hash to use

Hash tools FAQ

A combined Hash Generator (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 at once) plus dedicated SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1 and HMAC generators.
Neither: use bcrypt or Argon2 for passwords. MD5 and SHA-256 are for checksums, integrity verification and API signatures.
Use HMAC when you need to verify both integrity AND authenticity: it proves the data was signed by someone who knows the secret key. It is the standard for API request signing and webhook verification.
No. Hashes are computed in your browser and the input is never stored.
