Comment (by deadduck169):

 Replying to [comment:104 Otto42]:
 > It is worth noting that switching to password_hash would effectively
 limit password lengths to 72 bytes (the bcrypt algorithm ignores the rest,
 so PHP truncates the password to that length).

 If your passwords are 72 bytes long, I can guarantee your security
 bottleneck is not in the password length limitation.
