On the client side, 100,000 iterations are still available.

The media has mostly repeated the assertion that the data is protected by 200,001 PBKDF2 iterations: 100,001 on the client side and 100,000 on the server.įurthermore, the server-side iterations are designed in such a way that they offer no security benefit. The number of PBKDF2 hash iterations used to compute the decryption key for a user’s password vault is criticized as being excessive.
