 ===== Hashing iterations
-Specifies the number of times {project_name} hashes passwords before storage or verification. The default value is 27,500.
+Specifies the number of times {project_name} hashes passwords before storage or verification. The default value is 210,000 in case that `pbkdf2-sha512` is used as hashing algorithm, which is by default.
+If other hash algorithms are explicitly set by using the`HashAlgorithm` policy, the default count of hashing iterations could be different. For instance, it is 600,000 by default if  the`pbkdf2-sha256` algorithm is used or 1,300,000 if

 {project_name} hashes passwords to ensure that hostile actors with access to the password database cannot read passwords through reverse engineering.
