 The `BCryptPasswordEncoder` implementation uses the widely supported https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt[bcrypt] algorithm to hash the passwords.
 To make it more resistant to password cracking, bcrypt is deliberately slow.
 Like other adaptive one-way functions, it should be tuned to take about 1 second to verify a password on your system.

 tune and test the strength parameter on your own system so that it takes roughly 1 second to verify a password.
