Argon2 is live
It works by the way on CLI and mobile, and mobile is especially slow on some low-end android devices. It *should* also be possible to make parallelism work for the WebAssembly version, but for some reason the issues with threading were never ironed out. I'm not sure whether it's worth investigating that, or to just add SIMD support where possible, and wait for webcrypto to add argon2.

The quest for a family-friendly password manager
> So a project like this? https://github.com/antelle/argon2-browser
Notice how they don't provide any benchmarks that aren't Native or WASM?

This doesn't help iOS users in Lockdown mode. It may also break for users who run their OS in FIPS mode.

How would I hash passwords on the client side with JS
Ideally I'd like to use something like of argon2 to derive my key because that's the de facto best algorithm for the purpose. There are a few WASM ports of it but they don't seem maintained and they don't play nice with the bundler I'm using.

How did LastPass master passwords get compromised?
> is there really fast enough implementations available to the browser
Browsers have pretty good support for surfacing native code SHA family hash functions which you can use to speed up PBKDF2. It's called the Web Crypto API and it's available even in Internet Explorer 11. [1]
If you're willing to drop support for IE11 and older phones like the iPhone 4S, then you get access to WebAssembly. With WASM you can get a bunch of custom algorithms to be quite fast. The Argon2 browser WASM library claims to be only about 10x slower than optimized native code. [2]
It's not perfect, but it isn't as bad as it used to be with just pure JavaScript.
