Exactly. That's the risk to mitigate. Here's scrypt for js using emscripten on actual scrypt C source... the site has to provide and adjust/migrate the three factors over time to ensure a sane amount of cpu/memory is used: https://github.com/tonyg/js-scrypt

For real-world, practicality's sake, the client-side of an app would contain the PBKDF or some AA code, as opposed to the traditional, slightly-riskier "let the server handle all of it"-approach... the server still has final say on authentication and authorization, just move some of it into client-side js. There's really not much impact on FE development considering most FEs and BEs are codeveloped these days anyhow.

Btw, for web devs Two-factor auth is cheap and easy to do, Google Authenticator OTP has open source libs and requires no calls to Google to work.
