We currently use a bcrypt has implementation for hashing passwords and the like. bcrypt is efficient, yet security could be improved if the argon2 hashing would be used. Downside is that argon2 burns more CPU on the server, which could affect performance.

This issue is to track and discuss considerations in upgrading the hashing approach.
