Description
Use Case
Since debian 11, yescrypt is used by default to encrypt pam password. It's also the default method for many other Linux distribution.
The french cyber security organisation (ANSII) oblige all the french gouvernment and many french company to use yescrypt.
As it, pw_hash must provide yescrypt option.
Describe the Solution You Would Like
pw_hash should support yescrypt.
pw_hash($password, 'yescrypt', $salt)
And giving and hash like : $y$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Describe Alternatives You've Considered
The only alternative I found is not using pw_hash and inject directly the hash in puppet.
