As [https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-
developers/ZeRJU8YVrxg/discussion discussed on django-developers], you
can wrap hashers. For example, if you have a hasher which is
`sha1(password)`, add a new hasher which is `bcrypt(sha1(password))`. Then
if you convert your database in a migration, you immediately get all the
benefits of a better hash. We should give an example of this technique and
recommend its use as part of removing weak password hashers from the
default `PASSWORD_HASHERS` (#26187).
