// Package hashers provides several implementations of password hashing functions.
//
// This package allows for seamless migrations of password hashing methods. To
// migrate to a new hasher in the future, the steps needed are:
//  1. Add a new type that implements the [PasswordHasher] interface. Let's call
//     it `NewHasher`.
//  2. Update the [latestHasher] variable so that it points to a `NewHasher`
//     instance:
//
// ``` diff
// var (
//
//	// latestHasher is the hasher currently in use.
//	// Any password hashed with a different hasher must be migrated to this one.
//
// -	latestHasher PasswordHasher = DefaultPBKDF2()
// +	latestHasher PasswordHasher = DefaultNewHasher()
// ```
//  3. Modify [GetHasherFromPHCString] to add a new case in the switch to
//     identify the new function ID.
//
// If what is needed is to upgrade to a new set of parameters for the same
// hashing method (let's say keep using PBKDF2 but increase the work factor
// from 60,000 to 120,000), then no modification to [GetHasherFromPHCString]
// is needed. Simply update the [latestHasher] varible with the new parameter,
// and [IsPHCValid] will detect the difference in the parameter.
//
// Note that the migration happens in [App.migratePassword], which is triggered
// whenever the user enters their password and an old hashing method is
// identified when parsing their stored hashed password.
// This means that the older password hashers can *never* be removed, unless all
// users whose passwords are not migrated are either forced to re-login, or
// forced to generate a new password.
//
// Another important note is that once a server upgrades to a version with an
// updated hashing method, downgrading to any previous version will break the
// login flow for users whose passwords were migrated to the newer method.
