  ❓ Why is hashing and salting passwords mandatory? A salt is simply a random data used as an additional input to the hashing function to safeguard your password. The random string from the salt makes the hash unpredictable. A password hash involves converting the password into an alphanumeric string using specialized algorithms. Hashing and salting are irreversible and ensure that even if someone gains access to the hashed passwords, they will not be able to decrypt them to recover the original passwords. Hystorically bcrypt is recognized as the best hashing algorithm. However, in terms of robustness against all the new cryptographic attacks targeting hashing algorithms, the current clear winner is argon2. However, since the “youth" (2015) of this algorithm, I chose to use bcrypt

  Argon2: this is the newest highly recommended algorithm, and recommended by OWASP. (Edit: originally linked to a low-download library.)

• Correct parameters to migrate from Bcrypt to Argon2 for express?
  1 project | dev.to | 26 Nov 2021

  As per security.stackexchange.com the recommended number of rounds for Bcrypt is a number such that it takes atleast 250 ms to hash your password. Argon2 on the other hand takes multiple parameters it seems. What is the equivalent configuration you need for Argon2? I am talking about an express webserver here with passportjs if that helps
