PASSWORD_HASH

Password_Hash

In V13.0.4 onwards, allows setting the hash function used when generating new entries in the password database.

Options:

ORIGINAL - uses SHA2-512 hash scheme. The only supported option in V10-V13.

PBKDF2_SHA2_512 - uses PBKDF2(SHA2-512)

PBKDF2_SHA3_512 - uses PBKDF2(SHA3-512)

Defaults to ORIGINAL.

More information:

Changes to PASSWORD_HASH will only take effect when each user's password is next added or changed.

Set scaling factor using PASSWORD_HASH_DIFFICULTY.

Clients must support the hash algorithm configured by the server. This may be a consideration for users with older non-native clients that may have more limited encryption support.
