Description
What solution would you like?
It will be useful for some cluster administrators to be able to use SCrypt as the password hashing algorithm and be able to configure properties such as:
- work factor
- parallelization
- derived key length

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by locating the existing password-hashing configuration and implementations, then determine how SCrypt support and its work factor, parallelization, and derived key length settings fit there. Done means administrators can select SCrypt and configure all three properties.
