As we’ve discussed in the previous post – 5 Ways to Generate Strong and Secure Password, using MD5 hash of a string as your password is a good idea, so we rounded up three Chrome extensions which could make MD5 and SHA1 hash for you.
The below-listed MD5 hash generators is developed to compute MD5 hash from text string only, if you are hunting for a MD5 / SHA1 checker for files, not for text string, feel free to check out this article: 5 Best MD5 checker.

3, MD5 Encoder
This is a Chrome extension developed by kamat0z which allows to compute the MD5 / SHA1 cryptographic hash of the string you entered. It also allows to encode and decode data using base64.
