How to create users from config files with hashed passwords

When using AuthenticationType.LOCAL we are able to specify users via yml files and these users are available after application start for authentication:
guest.yaml

username: guest
password: guest
authorities:
  - guest
firstname: Gu
lastname: Est
email: guest@example.com

Unfortunately the password here is in cleartext.

My questions are:

  1. Is there a possibility to provide hashed passwords in these yaml files? I heard it was possible in earlier A12 versions to provide user files (in xml) with encrypted passwords.

  2. I also found this thread but this might not be relevant to the newest A12 version anymore, does it?Adding Users during Plattform Server Startup

  3. Is there another way to specify users with encrypted passwords in files and just declare them to be used?

Answer from @tuan-stable-gale:

Local authentication type is only meant for demo purposes hashing is not needed for demo. Please change your authentication when you deliver it in production.

If you need Local authentication type for any special business please contact me directly. Thank you.
