3.3K crates depend on bcrypt. Strong ecosystem adoption means battle-tested code and long-term stability.

Despite being 10+ years old, bcrypt hasn't reached 1.0 yet. Expect potential API changes between versions.
At 15KB, bcrypt is lightweight. Small crate size correlates with focused, well-scoped functionality.
Notable dependents include salvo-csrf, passwords, surrealdb-core, surrealdb-core-nightly, lemmy_db_schema. When high-quality crates choose bcrypt, it's a strong quality signal.
