At the moment there are implemented two methods of password encryption and that are stored in the system database in the UserLogin table.

The final application administrator can choose which one to use for their security level in the Administration portal under “System Configuration” > “Security” > “Password Policy”.

Here we will find two methods named "Quidgest" and the second "Argon2".

Regarding the "Quidgest" method is a form of hash encryption performed by us and it can be seen its source code in the GenioServer project, "PasswordFactory" file, in the class "password_encriptarQuid".

In the “Argon2” method was the winner of the Password Hashing Competition (PHC) award and it is a password-hashing function that summarizes the state of the art in the design of memory-hard functions and can be used to hash passwords for credential storage, key derivation, or other applications.
