[8.5.5.17 or later]Beginning with V8.5.5.17, you can also select PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1.

[8.5.5.17 or later]The default value is PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1.

Before V8.5.5.17, the default value was SHA-1.

[8.5.5.17 or later]

Key length

[8.5.5.17 or later]

Hash iterations

The number of iterations to perform for password hashing. Valid only when the hashing algorithm is set to PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1. The default value is 100000. (Integer, optional)
