So glad that Apple moved away from that weird arse design pattern where windows could not be maximised and toolboxes were just floating there and just appeared/disappeared depending on which window had focus, was a pain in the arse 😅

Hey, security peeps? Telling users that their password manager is insecure, then screaming this nonsense at them is why people give up on security. I work at a *security firm* and I'll bet some of them don't know about KDF iterations, parallelism and memory in Argon2id. Your CFO sure as shit won't.

Low KDF Iterations

Update your encryption settings to meet new security recommendations and improve account protection.

Encryption key settings

Warning
Proceeding will log you out of all active sessions. You will need to log back in and complete two-step login setup. We recommend exporting your vault before changing your encryption settings to prevent data loss.

Higher KDF iterations can help protect your master password from being brute forced by an attacker. We recommend a value of 600,000 or more.

Warning
Setting your KDF iterations too high could result in poor performance when logging into (and unlocking) Bitwarden on slower or older devices. We recommend that you increase the value in increments of 100,000 and then test all of your devices.
