Hot Take Comparative Analysis of Password Hashing Algorithms: Argon2, bcrypt, scrypt, and PBKDF2

[Parkinsond]

Argon2: Considered the most secure among the four, especially against GPU and ASIC attacks. Its memory hardness and configurability make it highly resistant to various attack vectors.

scrypt: Very secure due to its memory-hardness, but slightly less so than Argon2. It's particularly strong against hardware-based attacks.

PBKDF2: The least secure of the four, especially against GPU and ASIC attacks. However, it's still considered safe when used with a high iteration count.

Password Hashing Showdown: Argon2 vs bcrypt vs scrypt vs PBKDF2

Explore the strengths and weaknesses of Argon2, bcrypt, scrypt, and PBKDF2 in this comprehensive comparison of password hashing algorithms. Learn which algorithm suits your security needs, from cutting-edge Argon2 to the widely-used bcrypt, and understand the future of cryptographic protection.

I use *password" and write it on a sticky and and past it on the top left of my screen.

Why?

I use reverse psychology since no one could be " that stupid".


That's how you get them!

Ironically it's not a stupid idea these days, with the amount of CCTV and security around buildings your going to get snapped eventually if your trying to gain physical access to a building or secure area in a building. The saying goes 'what is old eventually is new again'.

Dashlane primarily uses Argon 2, but it also offers PBKDF2 for compatibility reasons.
