Enscrypt replaces wordpress authentication protocols with a mechanism that uses the far more secure scrypt hashing algorithm.
Scrypt is a superior hashing algorithm with configurable CPU and memory parameters. As such, when properly configured, it takes long enough and is secure enough to be highly resistant to brute-force attacks.
Enscrypt can be enabled and disabled at-will without interfering with the built-in WordPress authentication mechanism.

For legacy support with a wider range of PHP versions, WordPress opts to use PHPASS (a portible password hashing library) which WordPress defaults to using a MD5 based hash.
The security of your password hashes can be improved by using a modern password hashing algorithm, such as BCRYPT for PHP 5.5+ or ARGON2I for PHP 7.2+
This plugin aims to improve the security of the hashed passwords by using PHP 5.5’s password_hash() function and the BCRYPT algorithm but also supports the newer ARGON2I algorithm.
For extended support when password_hash() is not available this plugin will fallback to using PHPASS with additional security when compared to the WordPress defaults.
