WordPress 6.8 is introducing bcrypt as the default password hashing method, making our wp-password-bcrypt package redundant. If your site is running WordPress 6.8 or later, you no longer need the package—WordPress core now handles bcrypt authentication natively, with no migration required.
We’ve published a blog post outlining the details, including what this means for Bedrock and our plans to archive the repository:
