Hash function change What is the benefit of gradual migration? Only benefit I see is that after given period of time I will be able to "retire" the old password scheme. But why do I need to do so? I already have the methods for using it, so it doesn't bother me. |

Hash function change Thanks for the clarification. I will definitely take that into consideration. |

Hash function change Thanks. Why do you recommend bcrypt over SHA-2 (and soon SHA-3), which is NIST standard for cryptographic hash? Is it (only) because bcrypt can be made arbitrarily slow? |

Hash function change Old hash is unix crypt (DES based) and new is not decided yet. Salt is random for each user. |
