Password hashing involves transforming a password into alphanumeric characters using specific algorithms. Hashing proves advantageous when malicious actors compromise data. With hashing, the obtained data is in hash format, rendering it unintelligible. Popular algorithms for password hashing encompass bcrypt and SHA.

In this article, the spotlight will be on utilizing bcrypt for password hashing in Node.js. Here’s an example of hashing plain text:
hash('HeypasswordIsSafe@') = 1b21hb2hb1u2gu3g2fxy1v2ux1v2y3vu12g4u3ggvgu43598sa89da98sd79adshuavusdva9sdguasd
