The published RFC has the following recommended options:
If a uniformly safe option that is not tailored to your
application or hardware is acceptable, select Argon2id with t=1
iteration, p=4 lanes, m=2^(21) (2 GiB of RAM), 128-bit salt, and
256-bit tag size. This is the FIRST RECOMMENDED option.
If much less memory is available, a uniformly safe option is
Argon2id with t=3 iterations, p=4 lanes, m=2^(16) (64 MiB of
RAM), 128-bit salt, and 256-bit tag size. This is the SECOND
RECOMMENDED option.
Since 2 GiB is too much for the Node engine and it will crash when allocating that much, we should adopt the second option. This will make the library safer for those that just use the defaults.
