Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Related #21022: A ticket opened 8 years ago, and last reply 7 months ago.
 The conversation drives to use password_hash() when minimum required PHP
 version is upped to 5.6

 Related #39499: A suggestion to use Argon2ID (which is quite secure no
 doubt), but requires to polyfill it with a quite slow user-land polyfill.
 It was not well-received and I don't suggest to use sodium_compat either.
