I'm reading the open source code and this thing is... odd. For instance: it has a "simple", "intermediate", and "advanced" password complexity, and depending on which you choose, it uses SHA1, SHA2-256, and SHA2-512 for the PBKDF2 hash. What does password complexity have to do with the strength of the algorithm used to generate passwords?

Also: it's 2016. Why is this using PBKDF2? If PBKDF2 is what you've got and you're protecting a website, that's fine, but this is a password manager.

Is the "commercial" version of this also Ruby code wrapping OpenSSL?
