Pull Request for Issue #12333
Summary of Changes
Our core API has a hardcoded set of password hashes that it supports making adding and removing support for hashing algorithms somewhat difficult. To improve this situation, we can make use of a new API in the Framework's Authentication package which provides an API for hashing and validating passwords and the use of the service container to allow handlers to be defined.
Testing Instructions
With the patch applied, authentication should still work as before with all supported password hashes. As well, rehashing older password hashes continues to work as before.
Documentation Changes Required
Document the new services in the container and the new PHP API, as well as how plugins can interface with this new functionality.
