Before v3.5, DigestAuth's documentation suggests:
Use
htdigestto generate passwords.
Since v3.5, it becomes:
Passwords must be hashed using MD5, SHA1, or BCrypt. Use
htpasswdto generate the passwords.
I know that passwords generated by htpasswd are used by the BasicAuth middleware, as the documentation states. From v3.5, the Passwords format descriptions of DigestAuth and BasicAuth are the same.
I guess there is some mistake in the documentation sources at
