Description

Follows OWASP recommendations, bcrypt appears to have fallen out of favour and looks to be considered more for legacy systems.
https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet.html#introduction

The bcrypt password hashing function should only be used for password storage in legacy systems where Argon2 and scrypt are not available.The bcrypt password hashing function should only be used for password storage in legacy systems where Argon2 and scrypt are not available.

  • All new passwords will be hashed with the new algorithm, anyone that logs in with a password hashed with bcrypt will be migrated to the new one silently.
  • Ideally we'll be able to drop old algorithm support altogether in a few months, when we do we'd need to call it out in the release notes and anyone that hasn't logged in with a password since this is merged would need to reset their password manually.

Testing

Before:

Mac:actual:master% sqlite3 packages/sync-server/server-files/account.sqlite \
"SELECT method, substr(extra_data, 1, 7) AS prefix FROM auth WHERE method =
  'password';"
password|$2b$12$

After:

Mac:actual:argon2% sqlite3 packages/sync-server/server-files/account.sqlite \
"SELECT method, substr(extra_data, 1, 7) AS prefix FROM auth WHERE method =
  'password';"
password|$argon2

Checklist

  • Release notes added (see link above)
  • No obvious regressions in affected areas
  • Self-review has been performed - I understand what each change in the code does and why it is needed
