Modifying PASSWORD_HASHERS

[toeknee2120]

Using Django 5.2.10.

I'm trying to update which hasher is used.

I have the following:

# extra.py

# I've tried it by itself
PASSWORD_HASHERS = ["django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher"]

# I've tried putting it first
PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.ScryptPasswordHasher",
]

I also installed argon2-cffi, as mentioned in the documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/topics/auth/passwords/#using-argon2-with-django

But, the settings don't apply.

If I log into the container and run

python manage.py shell
from django.conf import settings
print(settings.PASSWORD_HASHERS) # outputs the default order

PASSWORD_HASHERS = [
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.PBKDF2SHA1PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.Argon2PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.BCryptSHA256PasswordHasher",
    "django.contrib.auth.hashers.ScryptPasswordHasher",
]

extra.py is getting read in. I have a BANNER set in there also, and that works. I don't understand why this configuration change isn't applying.

I also tried throwing it in configuration.py, and have the same issue.
