You are at risk of a dictionary attack on your password / passphrase. You need protect it with a long, computer generated passphrase to be secure. I would say at least 128 bits of entropy. By being stored on Dropbox, you have to assume that the the "agencies" have access to your database. At some point, computing will advance enough to either brute force the encryption or find a weakness in it.
The safest option is to prevent 3rd parties from having access to your encrypted data in the first place. This is the approach Bluepass is taking.
- jpalomaki 13y agoThe entropy problem you can go around with by encrypting the data with a combination of pass phrase and a token file. For example KeePass supports these kind of combinations. Obviously the token file would be something you don't put into cloud but instead store on each physical device.
