Hello, here is a tutorial.
Only I got an error after following the steps, you might be more succesfull!
Be careful if you don't know much about this. Always make a good backup first!

thank you for advice and tutorial I will finnaly maybe wait before because is not my first time to re install all .. Confused in 30 day i have re install the board + 15 time .. with test certain plugins not working or or too old .. the Edit log plugin have make my admin account crash when i want to see the board with the admin account Confused is an example
I'd master database backup and restore before I messed with that too much.  Matter of fact, before I change things in my test environment, do a mysqldump with the --add-drop-table option.  So I can roll the db back without issue.  Execute 2 commands and I'm where I started.  Also use that option on our live board for our backup - for the same reason.

Also means I can take those files and create our board anywhere, as long as the support software exists and is a similar version.

So another "must have" in your toolbox is tar - to build an archive of your files.  Files plus database, you're covered.  Takes a little work to understand how to create and extract a 'tarball', but well worth the effort.

Just use bcrypt. Don’t overengineer.

I think this is the best advice. Is it safe enough you think?
I see all kind of advice not to use it on the web vs argon2id

I’m a qualified systems administrator and I use it on my systems. I would not be recommending it if I did not trust it.
well thanks you guy
