Message:

Security: Switch to using bcrypt for hashing user passwords and BLAKE2b for hashing application passwords and security keys.

Passwords and security keys that were saved in prior versions of WordPress will continue to work. Each user's password will be opportunistically rehashed and resaved when they next subsequently log in using a valid password.

The following new functions have been introduced:

• wp_password_needs_rehash()
• wp_fast_hash()
• wp_verify_fast_hash()

The following new filters have been introduced:

• password_needs_rehash
• wp_hash_password_algorithm
• wp_hash_password_options
