How a cryptographic hash works

The same bytes and algorithm produce the same digest. A small text change normally produces a very different result, and the original text cannot be recovered from the digest.

Do not use a plain hash for passwords

SHA-256 and SHA-512 are fast general-purpose hashes. Password storage needs a salted, deliberately slow password-hashing function such as Argon2, scrypt, bcrypt or PBKDF2.
