    Any info on how they rate/compare the algorithms? I could not find anything on the site. In particular, it would be nice to see how bcrypt/scrypt/PBKDF2 rate.

      Since bcrypt and PBKDF2 aren't even memory-hard, and PBKDF2 is especially easy to speed up with hardware, the answer is "comparatively, not well". They're all still light years better than DIY salted hashes.
