Wordpress Stronger WordPress Password Hashing with bcrypt

Interesting article over at WPMU Dev discussing stronger wordpress password hashing with bcrypt Making Your WordPress Password Hashing Stronger with bcrypt - WPMU DEV

Would Centmin Mod users like to see Wordpress auto installer routine use the more secure bcrypt method via auto installed WP bcrypt plugin ?

 

haven't revisited this topic in ages. Not sure if Wordpress changed their default hashing method by default yet ? If they haven't there's a few plugins that offer this too https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/bcrypt/

the one mentioned in above article looks interesting but it's manual install (which i could automate) https://roots.io/plugins/bcrypt-password/ though last time it was updated was Feb 2016 https://github.com/roots/wp-password-bcrypt/blob/master/wp-password-bcrypt.php though whether it needed updating is another question https://github.com/roots/wp-password-bcrypt/issues/10.
