Comment:

 In [changeset:"60123" 60123]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60123"
 Application Passwords: Correct the fallback behaviour for application
 passwords that don't use a generic hash.

 Application passwords that aren't hashed using BLAKE2b should be checked
 using `wp_check_password()` rather than assuming they were hashed with
 phpass. This provides full back compat support for application passwords
 that were created via an overridden `wp_hash_password()` function that
 uses an alternative hashing algorithm.

 Props snicco, debarghyabanerjee, peterwilsoncc, jorbin, johnbillion.

 Fixes #63203
