Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com

Please could bcrypt support be added to glibc so that we have a modern, safe
way of storing passwords?
Background and justification is here:

Summary of link:
Modern hardware can crack standard encrypted passwords very fast (even if they
use a salt). bcrypt is a solution to this.
