# --description-- # --description--
**[SHA-256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-256)** is the recommended stronger alternative to [SHA-1](https://rosettacode.org/wiki/SHA-1). The `SHA-2` family is a stronger alternative to `SHA-1`. The main difference between them is the length of the hash.
Meaning `SHA-1` provides a shorter code with fewer possibilities for unique combinations. `SHA-2` or `SHA-256` creates a longer and thus more complex hash with more possibilities.
