Description

User class in django/contrib/auth/models supports crypt algorithm in decoding password but not in the set_password method (see line 175). User password encryption algorithm should have a default but also but also configurable in project settings.

Project settings SECRET_KEY should be used in the encryption since all the data needed for brute force cracking are available in a db dump
