Updates in 2.19.0

Features

  • Added support for Argon2 password hashing. Argon2 is a memory-hard algorithm significantly more resistant to brute-force attacks than SHA-2, at the cost of higher memory and CPU usage per login. Enable it by setting users.passwordHashAlgorithm: { type: argon2id } in config.yaml. Argon2 parameters such as memory cost and parallelism can be configured explicitly.
  • Extended users.passwordHashAlgorithm in config.yaml to accept an object form ({ type: argon2id }, { type: SHA512, saltLength...

Updates in 2.18.4

  • Fixed diffie-hellman-group17-sha512 and diffie-hellman-group18-sha512 being advertised but not usable as kex algorithms.
  • Web...
