My password was made with the best practices, but I see people mention the amount of iterations done. Does that basically mean just Iterations * each attempt to brute force? ie 2 rotations to figure out a 1 digit pin = (1/10)2= 20 max

There's limited concern if you had a good master password right? I've changed everything important long ago but still plenty of small stuff I wouldn't love leaking.

Sorry for the use of idiot, you're right. It's frustrating otherwise smart people be so reactionary and puritanical instead of analytical. I seriously can not imagine how "addicts + cartels" could ever in anyone's m

Seriously, people on a technical forum arguing for prohibition with the wealth of evidence showing it's a well intended failure at best, a farcical show to placate and win votes from ignorant sanctimonious puritans at worst? Tragic. At
