How to Process Passwords as a Software Developer

  > Enforce multi-factor authentication instead But in a way that your user won't lose everything if his usb-gadget fails. Also not in a way that it gets stronger than password and can be used alone to recover a password (sms, for example) Also not in a way that is written down in a paper and typed later. Also not in a way that prevents your user from using your software.

  > Argon2 is a key derivation function, the winner of the password hashing competition and should be used for new projects. In case it isn't available, use Scrypt. Any other KDF is nonoptimal. Probably not worth going for the marginally-better-but-new-and-fancy KDF if you don't have a reliable implementation available for your language. Pretty much agree with everything else otherwise
