SHA-256 Hash FAQ
Is SHA-256 reversible encryption?
No. It is a one-way hash.
Does the same input always produce the same hash?
Yes. SHA-256 is deterministic for identical input.
Do small input changes affect output a lot?
Yes. Small changes produce a completely different hash.
Is this enough for password storage by itself?
No. Password security needs dedicated KDF strategies and salting.
Is data uploaded to a server?
No. Hashing runs locally in the browser.
