Hi, I was asked to be able to use the same password algo than linux distribution for its user database
Old distro use sha512 ($6$...) New distro use yescrypt ($y$...) So I choose to implement this using the features from libxcrypt as an extension This is only for Linux This is not designed to improve security but for compatibility reasons. Sources: https://github.com/remicollet/php-xpass If no objection, and if good feedback from the requester of this feature, I plan to add this extension to pecl Regards, Remi
