Please update PBKDF2HMAC minimum iterations recommendation #14723

@tmo1

Description

@tmo1

The Fernet documentation states:

The iteration count used should be adjusted to be as high as your server can tolerate. A good default is at least 1,200,000 iterations, which is what Django recommends as of January 2025.

(and the code example indeed has iterations=1_200_000)

Django has updated their recommendation to 1,500,000; please update your documentation accordingly.
