Mendix believes both algorithms are secure enough to store passwords within Mendix. The main difference between **BCrypt** and **SSHA256** is that the BCrypt algorithm has been configured so it is relatively slow on purpose, since it was designed specifically to stop brute force attacks. That is why this results in a slight performance difference with the SSHA256 algorithm.
