Argon2 is a password-hashing function that is considered to be more secure than bcrypt. It offers better resistance to GPU cracking attacks and has more configurable options. However, it may be slower and less widely supported than bcrypt.
PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) is another hashing algorithm that is widely used for password hashing. It is part of the RSA public key cryptography standards and is considered secure, but it may not be as resistant to certain types of attacks as bcrypt or Argon2.
Scrypt is a password-based key derivation function that is designed to be more secure against hardware brute-force attacks. It is more memory-intensive than bcrypt, making it harder to implement on specialized hardware like GPUs and ASICs.
