+     22 characters from the alphabet "./0-9A-Za-z". Using characters outside of
      this range in the salt will cause crypt() to return a zero-length string.
      The two digit cost parameter is the base-2 logarithm of the iteration
      count for the underlying Blowfish-based hashing algorithmeter and must be
