In '/etc/libuser.conf', add or correct the following line in its '[defaults]' section to ensure the system will use the SHA-512 algorithm for password hashing: 'crypt_style = sha512'


Parameter:

[pass_hash_SHA-512/pass_hash_SHA-256]


Technical Mechanism:

Using a stronger hashing algorithm makes password cracking attacks more difficult.
