Hash a Password with Argon2 (Tuned Options)
Demonstrates Crypt2.Argon2HashPassword with explicit options: the cost parameters, saltLen (how many random salt bytes to generate when no salt is given), and an optional secret (pepper).
Background. For hashing, the salt is optional — when omitted, a random salt of
saltLen bytes (default 16) is generated, which is the normal case. A secret or ad is not stored in the PHC string; the same values must be supplied to Argon2VerifyPassword for the password to verify.Chilkat Swift Downloads

// The password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
var password: String? = "correct horse battery staple"
// The Argon2 options are the same members as Argon2DeriveKey, except the salt is optional for
// hashing. When no "salt" is given, a random salt is generated; "saltLen" (default 16, range 8..1024)
// sets how many random bytes to use.
