Comment (by haozi):

 Please refer OWASP's documentation
 [https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet.html
 #pre-hashing-passwords-with-bcrypt], they don't recommend pre-hashing
 passwords when using bcrypt.

 Perhaps we can add input length restrictions to prevent users from using
 too long passwords?
