What are the risks of using password hashing algorithms like Argon2 or PBKDF2 in a JavaScript application [duplicate]
I’m wondering what are the risks of using password hashing algorithms like Argon2 or PBKDF2 in a JavaScript application.
I am wondering this because of the considerations of client-side execution, and the potential for an attacker to exploit the computer power of a user's browser. Apparently, they can then perform brute-force attacks or reverse engineering of the hashing process?
Is this true, and if so, what are the risks?
