HMAC Signature Generator

Create a keyed SHA256 or SHA512 HMAC from an exact message.

An HMAC comparison requires the same message bytes, key and algorithm on both sides.

Use example keys while testing and review the chosen output representation.

How to use

Why use this tool

Key redaction keeps the secret out of the displayed result and export.

Before relying on the result

The response and exports redact the key. The plugin does not save inputs; hosting request logging is outside its control.

Tool limitations

The response and exports redact the key. The plugin does not save inputs; hosting request logging is outside its control.

Questions

Is the key processed only in my browser?

No. Calculation runs on the WordPress server. Hosting request logging is outside the tool's control.

What should I check before using HMAC Signature Generator?

Check Message, Demo secret key, Algorithm and Digest representation. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
