Is BCryptPasswordEncoder's password length lim

问题:

I saw a post that bcrypt has 72 characters limit. So I tested Spring security's BCryptPasswordEncoder to see what will happen. I tried over 1000 length and it worked normally. Not even a warning log was out.

I tried JavaDoc and online docs but couldn't find about input length limitation.

Is BCryptPasswordEncoder's password length limit more than 72 characters? If so, can I use this to my web applications?

回答1:

It seems BCryptPasswordEncoder crops password without any warning.

I tried with BCrypt instead of BCryptPasswordEncoder like this.

@Test
public void testBcrypt() throws Exception {
    final String pw1_a71 = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa";
    final String pw2 = pw1_a71 + "b";
    final String pw3 = pw2 + "b";
    final String pw4 = "b" + pw2;

    final String gensalt = BCrypt.gensalt();
    for (final String pw : Arrays.asList(pw1_a71, pw2, pw3, pw4)) {
        System.out.println(BCrypt.hashpw(pw, gensalt));
    }
}

Output:
