kali linux encrypting passwords with yescrypt – how to change?

I'm using John The Ripper for password cracking and adding new users/passwords to test it out. When I create a new user and password, the hash starts with $y$ which is from yescrypt. When testing a new password cracker - hashcat - it apparently doesn't support that format.

Is there a way to change the hash method when creating a new password - sudo passwd xxxx?
Is there a way to get hashcat to work with this hash?
