Documentation should not reference external BCrypt tool #5698

Description

@AndrewCarterUK

Currently the documentation suggests using this online tool to generate BCrypt hashes.

Although this tool may have been set up with the best of intentions - we have no way of proving that the operator is not farming the input BCrypt hashes (or that the service has not been compromised).

I think these references in the documentation should be removed, as it is not a good security practice to generate password hashes like this.
