27010	Argon2PasswordHasher.encode() decodes underlying hash as UTF-8 instead of ASCII	Chris Foresman	nobody	"The new `Argon2PasswordHasher` returns a `unicode` object in Python 2.7x, though argon2 itself returns only ASCII chars in its hash. Practically speaking this doesn't seem to cause a problem saving this value to a `CharField`, but for consistency's sake it probably needs updated to `decode('ascii')` instead of `decode('utf-8')` as other password hashers do.
