pierrekilly commented on issue #1160: Add support for Bcrypt password hashing URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/1160#issuecomment-365265915 Thanks @wohali for your review! I have to say this is the first time I contribute to a big opensource project, and the first time I work with Erlang! So If I understand well, I should at least do the following: - not use the default `iterations` that is used for PBKDF2 but create a new `log_rounds` config entry with its own default - rollback my change in pbkdf2's default iterations (if something should be fixed there, it should be fixed in a dedicated branch / commit / PR) Once this is done, **how should I proceed to work on a feature branch**? I've followed [the given instructions](https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#for-new-contributors) but maybe I made something wrong? I don't have a strong opinion about bcrypt vs. pbkdf2. I know both are great with there pros and cons. I happened to use Bcrypt so far and I have several dozens of thousands of user accounts who's passwords are stored in my MySQL database and as I want to migrate to CouchDB (because it's awesome!), the best for me is to have it support Bcrypt, so I can just import my user accounts without requiring any actions from them.
