	 * installations is bcrypt. If you use any other algorithm you must make sure that it is available on
	 * the server. The `password_algos()` function can be used to check which hashing algorithms are available.
	 *
	 * The hashing options can be controlled via the 'wp_hash_password_options' filter.

	 * Other available constants include:
	 *
	 * - `PASSWORD_ARGON2I`
	 * - `PASSWORD_ARGON2ID`
	 * - `PASSWORD_DEFAULT`
