The Bcrypt Password Hashing Algorithm Starts Its Long Goodbye (wired.com) 14 points by nielsprovos 3y ago ↗ HN
[–] lucasyvas 3y ago ↗ Is Argon2(id) still the favorite now? [–] lagniappe 3y ago ↗ yes [–] nielsprovos 3y ago ↗ That is not entirely clear; you may want to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_hashing - which may be superior to Argon2 [–] lagniappe 3y ago ↗ I am eager to see more options in the stdlib of the languages I use primarily, but until that time comes, it appears that argon2id is the safe bet for now [–] nielsprovos 3y ago ↗ Fair enough. That's ultimately what I think made bcrypt successful, it was widely available in basically all languages and easy to configure.
