For a long time their KDF was bad and the iteration count was low. When I reported it to them they got really hostile and evasive about it.

Years later they switched to Argon, somehow solving all of the blocking problems they had repeatedly claimed they couldn’t fix.

I don’t trust the org at all. The software is ok but I only use it because it sucks marginally less than all my other options.

People who care about software freedoms don’t release proprietary software. Organizations like this or Microsoft are just engaging in open source cosplay.



> When I reported it to them they got really hostile

You're not the one who first reported it, but I did see your comments at the time. Calling them hostile is really the pot calling the kettle black, uh?


To me the story also sounds a bit like GP was a bit impatient and felt a bit ignored while the company was already working on the issue but just didn't respond promptly to per personally.
