Determine number of iterations 1password database requires?
Is there a way to tell how many PBKDF2 iterations my datafile requires to decrypt. With 3.8.21 I see that the iteration count increased, so I changed my master password. I wanted to know if there was a way I could tell to make sure the iteration count is set to the higher number now.

Good question! This came up with the John the Ripper blog post we did as well, and I think Jeff had a very good answer:

Oh no.. here comes another question from the hammer guy from out in left field, "what are PBKDF2 iterations?"

The first link in the second paragraph of the John the Ripper blog post explains what PBKDF2 is. :)

Let me know if you have any further questions after reading it. I'd be happy to answer them.
Cheers!
