Description Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2022-04-22 07:14:21 UTC
When we switched from MD5 to Bcrypt we updated our storage to use Modular Crypt Format.. a new scheme now exists with minor improvements called PHC String Format.

Switching to PHC should allow us to support newer crypt cyphers easily, including argon2
