Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I've verified this issue by creating custom implementations of
 `wp_hash_password()` and `wp_check_password()`. (They're very basic and
 wildly insecure so I won't be sharing them here -- think rot13).

 I think the new methods in `WP_Application_Passwords` will either need to
 be removed or converted to wrappers for the pluggable functions
 `wp_hash_password()` and `wp_check_password()`.

 My inclination is to remove them as they won't serve much purpose as
 wrappers.
