I’m wondering what are the risks of using password hashing algorithms like Argon2 or PBKDF2 in a JavaScript application.
I am wondering this because of the considerations of client-side execution, and the potential for an attacker to explo… Continue reading What are the risks of using password hashing algorithms like Argon2 or PBKDF2 in a JavaScript application [duplicate]→
