Comment (by stgoos):

 Replying to [comment:129 my1xt]:
 > @stgoos fullly agree over here, although considering we are 7.4 already
 and in fact PHP7 as a whole is EOL by now, so the next version might as
 well be PHP8+ why not just skip bcrypt and go all-out with argon2id?

 Valid point, although backwards compatibility for PHP 7.4 for a little
 longer is something I can understand due to the fact that so many
 plugins(/themes) haven't been made PHP 8.x compatible yet - unfortunately.
