We are also seeing the exact same issue with the latest version of the provider. Rolling back and testing as suggested above.

Just to provide a reference for the upstream cryptography library (and general bcrypt) behavior: golang/go#36546

[ashhammond]

As a workaround we have now pinned the random provider to 3.4.3 and functionality is restored.
