Description
Hey @vathpela I would like to ask if it is possible to implement yescrypt support in MokManager. Currently, as you know, to import certificates on MOKManager, it is possible to use mokutils tool.
mokutils has --root-pw/-P argument that allows to input the root password that will be used for confirmation on MOKManager side.
It worked well some time ago, but now most of the major Linux distros generate root passwords as yescrypt hash algorithm by default by passwd command, so it is not possible to use the root password to perform the confirmation on MOKManager side.
Is it possible to implement yescrypt support please? I think it will be worth.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by tracing MokManager's current root-password verification and how mokutils passes --root-pw, then compare that path with yescrypt hashes generated by passwd. Done means yescrypt-based root passwords can confirm imports, with coverage for the new verification behavior.
