I know I asked about this before, but haven't seen anything lately. Is 1Password working on adding Argon2 to encryption options? Several other password managers have it, so just curious as to when we might see it in 1Password.

Feature Request

Hello @AZBigdog! 👋

Thanks for the question! I don't have anything new to share regarding Argon2 support at the moment. Our security design white paper currently includes the following information in A1.1 - Crypto in the browser:

There’s a paucity of efficient cryptographic functions available to run in JavaScript. As a consequence, the WebCrypto facilities available in the browsers we support impose a limit on the cryptographic methods we can use. For example, our reliance on PBKDF2 instead of a memory hard KDF such as Argon2 is a consequence of this.

Our blog is likely where any future developments will be announced in the future. 🙂

Thanks for the update.

I know most of the other password managers have implemented it, so hopefully 1Password will find a way to as well.
