Be careful with this technique, as it is a double-edged sword. This type of encryption is very CPU intense. That’s why it is so secure.
In my stress-testing setup (3-5 most expensive Heroku dynos), I’ve seen registration and login take up to 30 seconds when the system is loaded with 300-500 simultaneous users trying to signup or login. And that’s with a quite fast statically compiled language.
(unfortunately or fortunately, we didn’t get close to these numbers during the launch on PH 🙈)
