 The `BCryptPasswordEncoder` implementation uses the widely supported https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt[bcrypt] algorithm to hash the passwords.
 In order to make it more resistent to password cracking, bcrypt is deliberately slow.
 Like other adaptive one-way functions, it should be tuned to take about 1 second to verify a password on your system.
+The default implementation of `BCryptPasswordEncoder` uses strength 10 as mentioned on the Javadoc of https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/api/org/springframework/security/crypto/bcrypt/BCryptPasswordEncoder.html[BCryptPasswordEncoder]. Your are encouagred to
+tune and test the strength parameter on your own system so that it take roughly 1 second to verify a password.
