yescrypt is a password-based key derivation function based on scrypt. Advantages (compared to scrypt and Argon2): Improved resistance to offline attacks (due to increased attack costs while defensive costs remain unchanged). Additional functionality (for example, the ability to switch to stronger settings without knowing the password) out of the box. Utilization of cryptographic primitives approved by NIST. The possibility remains [...]
