       @marcan @mjg59 Agreed. A 20 character alphanumeric with symbols password has 123 bits of entropy. That should be extremely resilient (and 21 characters gives you 129 bits of entropy). So this really shouldn’t be cracked with brute force if randomly chosen. Even if the algorithm was MD5 rather than PBKDF2, it would have been secure

       @mjg59 Yes. I set my password manager to 21 characters which gives about 129 bits of entropy (close to the 128 bit entropy I was looking for). But even 10 words of EFF's word list with 5 dice rolls gives 128-bit key protection.

       @mjg59 it is still an incomplete patch, unfortunately https://mastodon.social/@never_released/110341145803408736
