If anyone has other suggestions or a better way, I am happy to read about it.
PBKDF2 is no longer recommended as a hashing algorithm, as it is easy to brute-force it on a GPU. Argon2id is the newest recommended algorithm (watch out for the other variants of Argon2 which are have trade-offs between GPU resistance and side-channel resistance).

If your language of choice does not have a decent, audited implementation of Argon2id, you can go with bcrypt or scrypt, which would be an improvement over PBKDF2, and usually widely available in most languages.

Thanks. I was not aware that PBKDF2 is no longer recommended.
