Argon2 algorithm dramatically slows password cracking by high-end GPUs

A new study shows that the Argon2id password hashing algorithm dramatically increases the cost of offline password cracking by neutralizing much of the advantage offered by modern GPUs. The study by Specops researcher David Ketler examines how Argon2id performs against modern password-cracking hardware and whether advances in GPUs continue to reduce cracking times as they…
