Description

Provides the reference implementation of Argon2, a modern password-hashing algorithm designed to make stolen password databases harder to attack. Software can use it to turn passwords into safer stored hashes.

Install it when an application, script, or development workflow needs Argon2 hashing tools or libraries. It is security infrastructure, not a password manager.
