Description
The [PasswordHash](https://jakarta.ee/specifications/platform/11/apidocs/jakarta/security/enterprise/identitystore/passwordhash) interface has only 1 "concrete" algorithm: [Pbkdf2PasswordHash](https://jakarta.ee/specifications/platform/11/apidocs/jakarta/security/enterprise/identitystore/pbkdf2passwordhash) (it is the only algorithm provided by the Java Platform). The JDK is bringing Argon2id to preview in JDK 27: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8377081 (JEP: https://openjdk.org/jeps/8377081). For the same reasons outlined in the JEP, it would be beneficial for JakartaEE to provide this implementation.
While it will only be previewed in JDK 27, it's good to start looking at the Jakarta integration.

Research direction
