Thanks for your comments @arielf .

• I will plan on adding some information in the help articles in regard to PBKDF2 iterations (it is currently 5000 on the client + 10000 on the server).
• This is definitely a good feature to add and I had plans to add it at some point. I will triage this issue to our "planned" status to keep it in the forefront.
• This is also possible to add, but is likely much more difficult to do. PBKDF2 was chosen since it is a strong standard readily available on all platforms without having to introduce additional third party libraries. I aim to keep the exposure to crypto implementations to a minimum.

This will be really great feature to add, it will also increase overall security.
