Argon2 Hashing for Node.js

node-argon2 is a Node.js library providing native bindings to the reference Argon2 hashing algorithm, which is a key derivation function designed to be memory-hard and suitable for password hashing. The library is actively maintained with frequent minor and patch releases, currently stable at version 0.44.0. It aims to simplify the use of Argon2 in Node.js applications by offering prebuilt binaries for common platforms (since v0.26.0, expanded significantly in v0.40.0), reducing the need for local compilation. Key differentiators include robust TypeScript support, flexibility in configuring Argon2 parameters (e.g., time cost, memory cost, parallelism), and the ability to choose between Argon2i, Argon2d, or Argon2id variants, making it a secure choice for password storage. It requires Node.js >= 16.17.0, with Node 18 or 20 being recommended.
