Derive a key from a password with PBKDF2

Developers and security teams use PBKDF2 derivation when preparing a check, a local test or integration data.

Derive a strong key from a password with PBKDF2 and keep the result ready for testing or integration. Use it for free in your browser, with no account required.

How to use

  1. Set the number of iterations in the provided field, then enter the password or input value that you want to derive.
  2. Start the derivation to produce the key that corresponds to those parameters.
  3. Copy the displayed result and also keep a note of the iteration count if you need to repeat the same calculation.
  4. Clear the fields after use when you are working on a shared computer.

Example

A developer prepares a test value to confirm that an integration reproduces a PBKDF2 derivation correctly. The developer enters a fictional password, records the iteration count, runs the operation and compares the resulting key with the value expected by the code.

Limits and formats

Where processing happens

Derivation runs only in your browser. The password and the resulting key stay on your device and are not sent to any remote service.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I keep the iteration count I used?

The same password can produce a different key when the iteration count changes. To repeat a test or compare two outputs, write down the setting you used and apply exactly the same value later.

Can I use this derived key as my final password?

It is better not to. The output depends on the settings you enter and may be hard to reproduce. For a real password, use a password manager and security practices suited to your situation.

Does the tool transmit my password anywhere?

No, the calculation stays in your browser. The password does not leave your device during derivation. On a shared computer, clear the fields after you finish.
