Penetration test and code review of the 1Password system

None on record
Source codeClosed sourceClosed source
EncryptionAES-256-GCM, Secret Key + PBKDF2
Show details

Data is encrypted with AES-GCM-256. The vault key is derived from your account password using PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 at 650,000 iterations, then combined with a 128-bit Secret Key that never leaves your devices — so an attacker who guesses the password alone still cannot decrypt anything. Authentication uses SRP, so password-equivalent data is never sent to the server.

AES-256, PBKDF2-SHA256 1M
Show details

The vault is encrypted client-side with AES-256 using a key derived from the Master Password via PBKDF2 with SHA-256 and a random 32-byte salt, at 1,000,000 iterations by default — the same order of magnitude as the highest iteration counts in this category, though PBKDF2 remains a non-memory-hard KDF unlike Argon2. Only a one-way, server-side password derived from the Master Password is ever sent to RoboForm's servers; all encryption and decryption happens locally.
