Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Ballast Security Hashing version 1.2.1 as active, updated 14y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.4.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin seamlessly changes your stored password hash to a far stronger one. The hash that it is changed to is
generated with a variety of variations on PBKDF2, including my own ARC4PBKDF2 which adds custom ARC4 encryption
during the hashing processs, then a SHA-1 to meet size constraints. This plugin exponentially increases the strength
of your stored password.
