Antonio Sanso commented on FELIX-5934:
--------------------------------------

[~cziegeler] I attached a proposed patch. I improved the current hashing algorithm adding salting and hashing iterations.

> The Felix Web Console currently stores unsalted hashed password [0]
> This violates common security hygiene and industry standard.
> The suggestion is to either add a random salt or use a stronger Password Storage algorithm e.g. *Argon2*  or *PBKDF2*  *.* See [1]
