Yeah I changed mine to Argon2id a while ago.
I know, I learned to do that from you post here some pages ago 😄
I went with Enpass, and sync between my iDevices, Mac, and PC over WiFi, and back up my vaults to my NAS, then back up the NAS, so I'm triple covered.
That said, one thing that we all know about popularity: something always wants to bring you down. In this case, it goes to 1Password and KeePass, as they are now being actively targeted by malware.

ViperSoftX info-stealing malware now targets password managers
A new version of the ViperSoftX information-stealing malware has been discovered with a broader range of targets, including targeting the KeePass and 1Password password managers.www.bleepingcomputer.com
So not only is it going after crypto, but it is also going after the well known/used password managers via its extensions, and more. For those that have 1Password and a subscription, does their install process automatically have an extension installed in a given browser to communicate with your vault?
BL.
Well its better than being on the more obscure side of things since it probably won't take much effort from an evil doer to attack it.
While I do not understand all of this, my previous knowledge tells me if there is a vulnerability they patch it and its done. So is there a continuous threat here? Wouldn't this threat at your local apps with native storage?
Better still no additional security threat vector.... If you use Safari on Mac iPhone or iPad the advantage is no browser extension is needed or used. Strongbox uses the Apple native built in AutoFill .... a feature I appreciate.
I am on the line about browser extensions. I keep hearing they are a threat but millions of people out there on different platforms and different browsers are using extensions. Still have not heard a problem coming from extension use
