Re: Request for wiki karma

Version 1.3 of the Argon2 spec alleviated my concerns. I never completed my patch, and the past couple of months have been hectic. I can review the patch before it's merged if you want, but I still don't have the free time to author an alternative. If accepted in 7.1, I believe it can be the new PASSWORD_DEFAULT in 7.3 if it remains the best option.
