Description
On Discord there was an interesting thread of how to configure password hashes to supply them in the configuration.
The blog post can delve into the following topics
- plain text vs hash password input
- different hashing algos (sha512, argon2, yescrypt)
- calculating hashes off box vs on box (with examples)

- Go discussion on yescrypt support in stdlib with a conclusion that it is not worth it adding into stdlib since argon2 is there. The decision was to have a 3rd party package to handle this.
