Update the default strength for password encoders #7411

Description

@larsgrefer

I propose to increase the default strength for some password encoders.

The BCrypt encoder currently uses 10 as default strength, with which it only takes ~80ms to encode a password (on my Early 2015 MacBook Pro). I think the default should be increased to (at least) 12.

The Argon2 encoder only needs ~40ms, so its defaults should be increased too.

The SCrypt encoder needs ~80ms with its default parameters.
