Public bug reported: I noticed in the manpages for passwd[1], it states:
--- More recent methods are now recommended (see ENCRYPT_METHOD). The size of the key space depends upon the randomness of the password which is selected. --- There is neither an "ENCRYPT_METHOD" header in the manpage, nor a mention of where it might otherwise be. It's hinted at here[2], but still not an explicit section outlining all config possibilities.
