Stronger password hashing

This is a built-in feature in Django 1.4+. Documented here for convenience:

PASSWORD_HASHERS = (
    # From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/auth/:
    # "[redacted] This means that Django will use the first hash in the list
    # to store all passwords, but will support checking passwords stored with
    # the rest of the hashes in the list. If you remove a hash from the list
    # it will no longer be supported.
