 * We just want to hash our password using the current DEFAULT algorithm.
 * This is presently BCRYPT, and will produce a 60 character result.
 *
 * Beware that DEFAULT may change over time, so you would want to prepare
 * By allowing your storage to expand past 60 characters (255 would be good)
 * Other algorithms such as PASSWORD_BCRYPT and PASSWORD_ARGON2ID may be used
 * instead of PASSWORD_DEFAULT
