Argon2i Generator - Side-Channel Resistant
Generate Argon2i hashes - data-independent memory hardness providing side-channel attack resistance.
What Is Argon2i?
Argon2i is the data-independent variant of Argon2 where memory access patterns are predetermined, providing resistance to side-channel attacks at the cost of some GPU resistance, making it suitable for password hashing in shared environments.

Use Cases
- Password hashing in shared environments
- Side-channel attack resistance required
- Cloud password storage
- Virtualized environments
- Where timing attack resistance is critical
!
Security Notice
Argon2i has lower GPU resistance than Argon2d. Argon2id provides the best balance for most password hashing scenarios.

How to Generate a Argon2i derived value
- Choose UTF-8, Hex, Base64 input mode.
- Enter the text or encoded bytes you want to process.
- Adjust the Argon2i options if your use case requires non-default settings.
- Click Generate Argon2i Derived Value and copy the result.
Example Input
Sample input:
abc
Use this sample input, then copy the generated derived value from the result panel.
When Not to Use Argon2i
- Do not choose it when maximum GPU resistance is the main requirement; prefer Argon2id or Argon2d.
