Comment (by bgermann):

 The argon2 suggestion has a problem: It is optional in PHP compilation.
 I suggest not using it when compatibility was a concern for a decade.
 WordPress always took the stance not to bother people with environment
 issues and depending on a specific PHP compile-time configuration flag is
 completely against that notion.
