Currently the default algorithm used for storing passwords in /etc/shadow is md5crypt.
For security reasons this should be changed to a more suitable algorithm.
The present passwd implementation in busybox supports sha256crypt as well as sha512crypt.

This would require a simple patch at https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/package/utils/busybox/Config-defaults.in#L1325-L1327

MUSL_DISABLE_CRYPT_SIZE_HACK should also be set for boards where this would be feasible to implement.
