For the security experts in the audience, which of these statements are untrue?
1. bcrypt is preferable to salted sha1, md5, rot13, plain text, etc...
2. Because of the "cargo cult" effect, bcrypt is more accessible (more platforms, nicer wrappers, etc...) than scrypt or other "better" options.
- asdasf 13y ago2. Isn't really true. The fact that bcrypt is more widely available than scrypt is more due to age than a "cargo cult" effect. It was the best option available for many years, so it became widely available.
