Loopback password encryption vis-a-vis rails AES password

We have an existing app which is developed using rails but we are migrating to loopback. One of the issue we are facing is different encryption method for password. We have used AES encryption method whereas loopback uses bcrypt. I have two questions

1. which encryption (AES or bcrypt way) is better


2. If we were to implement bcrypt then would it be consistent to login from web as well as from API. I know we have used salt (basic).

Please suggest.

Thanks, Raj
