Re: PASSWORD_DEFAULT value

Argon2 is opt-in, not opt-out, at compile-time, so then we would have to agree on it being acceptable for PASSWORD_DEFAULT to have different values depending on compile-time options, maybe thats completely fine, or maybe it isn't, idk. But as Dusterhus points out, Argon2 is inferior to bcrypt anyway, according to people much smarter than myself. Oh and Argon2 has been around since 2015 and multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered, speeding up brute force/dictionary attacks. Can't say the same for bcrypt On Wed, Sep 6, 2023, 18:52 Tim Düsterhus <tim@bastelstu.be> wrote: > Hi > > On 9/6/23 18:08, Vinicius Dias wrote: > > I was wondering here...
