Calculate bcrypt hashing time from cost factor. Time ≈ 2^cost / baseline_hashes_per_second. Cost 10: ~100ms; cost 12: ~400ms; cost 14: ~1600ms. Higher cost = slower brute-force attacks.

Enter the cost factor for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate bcrypt hashing time from cost factor. Time ≈ 2^cost / baseline_hashes_per_second. Cost 10: ~100ms; cost 12: ~400ms; cost 14: ~1600ms. Higher cost = slower brute-force attacks. Use the bcrypt cost factor result to inform your calculation.
