@puppygirlhornypost2 @dalias that's part of it yeah. the computational difficulty is configurable, so you pick the max level of compute/delay you can tolerate for a user sign-on, tuned to your performance and security requirements. but Argon2id also comes with a memory hardness factor that specifies how much memory the process must take, which makes it extremely difficult to scale in parallel with GPUs, FPGAs, and even ASICs due to hard tradeoffs between memory size and memory locality.
