==== Select the correct Bcrypt parameters When bcrypt's hashing function is used, it is important to select a round count that is high enough to make the function slow enough to prevent brute force: More than 12 rounds. For bcrypt's key derivation function, the number of rounds should likewise be high enough to make the function slow enough to prevent brute force: More than 4096 rounds `+(2^12)+`. + This number is not the same coefficient as the first one because it uses a different algorithm.
