Password hashing and salting
I'm building a C++ code generator and have been having some problems figuring out password hashing and salting. Does anyone use C++ to do that? This repo looked interesting: khovratovich/Argon2: Memory-hard scheme Argon2 (github.com)

So I created a custom KDF. Bad idea?
Regarding cache-hard KDFs, check out Argon2ds, Pufferfish2, hmac-bcrypt, and bscrypt.
