- <p class="text-gray-600 text-sm"> Your password and Secret Key are combined through <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/deriveKey#pbkdf2" class="text-blue-600 hover:text-blue-800">PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function)</a> with <strong>650,000 iterations</strong> to derive the Account Unlock Key (AUK). This intentionally slow process <strong>makes brute-force attacks computationally expensive</strong>: an attacker obtaining your encrypted data would need to perform 650,000 cryptographic operations for every password guess, turning a millisecond attack into hours or days of computation per attempt.</p>
