"there's no way to make repeated attempts more computationally expensive"

That's not true actually. For example, the industry standard for storing passwords on a server (bcrypt) is specifically designed to slow down password match attempts.

It is true. You're confusing making _repeated_ attempts progressively more expensive with making all attempts more expensive to start with

Ah yes. You are right, I was confusing those two things. Thanks for the clarification!

Bcrypt isn't an industry standard.
