PBKDF2 iterations is the last in what should be a chain of defence in depth best practices.
It gives limited protection against a database breach.
Your password service should have as a minimum the following extra defences.
- Hardware encryption of the master password hashes.
- Breach detection such as poison records.
- Database access controls that limit the blast radius of an attack.
- All admins should require a hardware key to access the database.
I'm sure there are many more.
You can defend yourself with the following...
- by having a very random master password.
- 2fa everywhere
- password horcruxing - see https://kaizoku.dev/double-blind-passwords-aka-horcruxing https://kaizoku.dev/double-blind-passwords-aka-horcruxing
