How does MySQL encrypt passwords?

MySQL server uses the PASSWORD function to encrypt MySQL passwords for storage in the Password column of the user grant table. The value returned by the PASSWORD function is a hashed string, or NULL if the argument was NULL. The PASSWORD function accepts one parameter which is the string to be encrypted.

What encryption method does bcrypt use?

The problems present in traditional UNIX password hashes led naturally to a new password scheme which we call bcrypt, referring to the Blowfish encryption algorithm. Bcrypt uses a 128-bit salt and encrypts a 192-bit magic value. It takes advantage of the expensive key setup in eksblowfish.

How does bcrypt authentication work?

BCrypt Algorithm is used to hash and salt passwords securely. BCrypt permits building a password security stage that can advance nearby hardware innovation to guard against dangers or threats in the long run, like attackers having the computing power to guess passwords twice as quickly.


I have bcrypted value($2y$10$zQaDT8hXM4pLmBdwN0xEseda/oKJAQKMKMzUrV8jbs6Epz28BXzBS) of password (qwe). But when I am verifying I am getting wrong result hash value.

mysql> select '$2y$10$zQaDT8hXM4pLmBdwN0xEseda/oKJAQKMKMzUrV8jbs6Epz28BXzBS' = encrypt('qwe', '$2y$10$zQaDT8hXM4pLmBdwN0xEseda/oKJAQKMKMzUrV8jbs6Epz28BXzBS') as is_valid; 
+----------+
| is_valid |
+----------+
|        0 |
+----------+

select encrypt('qwe', '$2y$10$zQaDT8hXM4pLmBdwN0xEseda/oKJAQKMKMzUrV8jbs6Epz28BXzBS') as hash;
+---------------+
| hash          |

| $2tBKnsbV2Szg |

md5 works fine

mysql> select '$1$$.dCRcHz4ApIYzcA0g/qz3/' = encrypt('qwe', '$1$$.dCRcHz4ApIYzcA0g/qz3/') as is_valid; 
+----------+
| is_valid |

|        1 |
