standards reviewed and approved by experts. It is therefore important to use
them instead of trying to re-invent the wheel.

In the case of password storage, the hashing algorithms recommended by
[OWASP][2] are [`bcrypt`][2], [`PDKDF2`][3], [`Argon2`][4] and [`scrypt`][5].
In the case of password storage, the hashing algorithms recommended by OWASP are

bcrypt, PBKDF2, Argon2 and scrypt.

Those take care of hashing and salting passwords in a robust way. Go authors
provide an extended package for cryptography, that is not part of the standard
library. It provides robust implementations for most of the aforementioned
