   > I've made the cache a configurable option. for deployments that are 
confident they avoid basic auth they can disable it without negative 
consequences
   
   Makes sense.
   
   Also, good idea to go with https://github.com/esl/fast_pbkdf2/ for now. I 
made a PR for Erlang/OTP to fix the blocking issue 
https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/7770 so far it seems to be in review and not 
sure what's blocking it. Hoping that would make it to maint and the next 
24/25/26 patch releases.
   
   One, perhaps minor or temporary, issue with fast_pbkdf2 is that it's not 
FIPS-140 validated. In other words, even if the hashing code may be copy-pasted 
from OpenSSL library, it might not be accepted as "compliant". Not that we 
necessarily strive to be compliant with FIPS 140, but we do have the extra 
feature and mode for it, so we would then prevent users from using that feature 
if we go with a native hashing primitives.
