Argon2 hashing algorithm for NodeJS server model

Wappler General
41

@JonL Haha yeah, I’ve just gone with the first option… not live yet so advice is welcome!

I could create a module for argon but it would still need a small workaround as I can’t plug into Server Connect Security Provider. Hopefully one day Security Provider can be extended.

On the other side argon2 is trending in the forum lately and people are pushing for a native solution within Wappler.

So maybe it’s coming soon! @george?

Sha-512 is an OK temporary solution of course. But you should eventually migrate to a more secure option like argon2

It's one main reason I've not converted completely to Node yet

And that’s the reason I haven’t published a module for this tbh. I don’t want to have to maintain something so critical and core like a security feature.

This is actually a very good point. @george we have people on php because of this! :joy:

Thanks Jon, will work with this for now and keep my fingers crossed for a native solution in the near future :slight_smile:

Following advice from others I’ve kicked off a new application using NodeJS rather than my more comfortable PHP. Luckily this is just a prototype for now but native password hashing in NodeJS is most welcome. Please. :slight_smile:

Argon2 is now available for NodeJS as well.
