Defines how sensitive user credentials like passwords and API-Keys get hashed.

:::info\[Config]

Hashing for passwords when using the [NativeAuthenticationStrategy](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/auth/native-authentication-strategy#nativeauthenticationstrategy) can be
configured via the `authOptions.passwordHashingStrategy` property of
your VendureConfig.

Hashing for API-Keys can be configured via the [ApiKeyStrategy](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/auth/api-key-strategy#apikeystrategy),
more specifically `authOptions.adminApiKeyStrategy.hashingStrategy` and
`authOptions.shopApiKeyStrategy.hashingStrategy`.
