Node hashword
A pure JavaScript password hashing framework.
Use NPM to install:
npm install hashword
var hashword = require('hashword');
//Change hash iteration count if needed. Min:8. Max:31. Defaults to 8.
hashword.init(12);
//Generate a random string of 10 characters.
var password = hashword.generatePassword(10);
//Generate hash of the password with a random key.
var hash = hashword.hashPassword(password);
//Verify the hash and password
var success = hashword.checkPassword(password, hash);

I have added a simple benchmark against BCrypt for generating hash and comparing password.
On average Hashword turns out to be 20% faster than BCrypt.
