v 1.6.29• Safe creation/password update dialog has been improved and clarified.
• Safe password strength rules are enforced for new and updated passwords. May be reduced or disabled in Settings (not recommended).
• Replaced the password strength estimator (ZXCVBN) with the latest version from Dropbox.
• When updating safe password, current password is checked, unless touch/face-id is enabled.
• Added support for upcoming enhanced encryption feature.
The password strengths (measured by the ZXCVBN algorithm) are as follows. The default minimum is 3:
0 - too guessable: risky password. (guesses less than 10 power 3)
1 - very guessable: protection from throttled online attacks. (guesses less than 10 power 6)
2 - somewhat guessable: protection from unthrottled online attacks. (guesses less than 10 power 8)
3 - safely unguessable: moderate protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses less than 10 power 10)
4 - very unguessable: strong protection from offline slow-hash scenario. (guesses greater than 10 power 10)
