Currently, we hash the passwords (and a few other things) once, and that is it. It would be good if we implement a modular hashing upgrade mechanism, such that existing passwords (etc) are upgraded when the hashing approach is updated.

Such a hashing upgrade should not make assumptions about the origin hashing algorithm. That is, if we upgraded the hash multiple times, it should be backwards compatible in upgrading the hashes.
