In the **/etc/shadow** file passwords hashed with **yescrypt**, usually have this `j9T` **parameter** as shown in the following example shadow entry, but information about this parameter is hard to come by.

`test_user_1:$6$j9T$xyz$VKswtvLoVpOLcpjDMIFXhxa8ukqqKSKHjcPBLZUk9NxWldmlFQY4stUGo.QjEhav7mp86ih2PRqYPqjkhWi5y.:19796:0:99999:7:::`
`test_user_1:$y$j9T$xyz$VKswtvLoVpOLcpjDMIFXhxa8ukqqKSKHjcPBLZUk9NxWldmlFQY4stUGo.QjEhav7mp86ih2PRqYPqjkhWi5y.:19796:0:99999:7:::`
