For anyone stumbling upon this topic: for a project, I’ve been using argon2_elixir as a bcrypt alternative. For that library, there are also test-specific settings that really speed up the test suite. Documentation here:

@LostKobrakai thank you so much for the hint about bcrypt!! I got 14x better test time just because of that.
If you’re using a mock user for example, put the password hash as a module attribute
In my case, I use exMachnia and every time a user is generated, this line was called (in the Factory)
Bcrypt.hash_pwd_salt("password123$")
What I just did is add this value as a module attribute (since it’s constant anyways)
defmodule MyApp.Factory do
# ...
@password_hash Bcrypt.hash_pwd_salt("password123$")
# ...
and then just use the @password_hash whenever the factory makes a user.
