SHA-256 is absolutely not recommended for storing passwords, and it was never designed for that purpose. If you are storing passwords with SHA-256 you should immediately migrate them to a password hashing algorithm. See “Upgrading Legacy Hashes” in the link below.

Recommended algorithms:

- Argon2

- PBKDF2

- Bcrypt
