The image I generated seems to use MD5 for root password hashing.
I understood this from the /etc/shadow file in the image., the file has following line:

    root:$1$b7X30f8f$au21weqL.9.ExM4N84AtA0:18614:0:99999:7:::

Is there an OE config I can change to change password hashing from MD5 to SHA256?


somewhere you must be setting the password something like this in local.conf

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += "\
    useradd admin; \
    usermod -p 'XXXXXX' admin; \
"

Now how you generate the password could be done separately via

something like ( for setting password to me 'test' )

python3 -c 'import crypt; print(crypt.crypt("test",
crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA256)))'

Replace XXXXXX with the output of the above cmd

aside from this its perhaps better to use sha512 than sha256

I am using Thud version.
