Are the keys encrypted with a key derived from a master password?

Does the decryption only occur on the user's device?

Is this master password not reused for the account or has account authentication been changed to use a cryptographic proof produced on-device?

If the key is ever decrypted on vendor's servers, everything else is theater.

And this is all of course also excluding auto-updating vendor-supplied authentication code from the threat model because the industry is not ready for that conversation yet.
