jslib VS ElectronMail

Someone should tell them!

To that extent, they're not going to bother trying to brute force the original password with aaaaaaa, aaaaaab, aaaaaac, etc. they'll start by going through the very publicly known word list and try abacus, abdomen, abdominal, etc.

FYI, according to the implementation notes in the .1pux importer pull request , the 1Password categories should be mapped to Bitwarden categories as follows:

In 2021, there was a PR (bitwarden/jslib#404) that changed it from 1 to 2 for local authentication. Server authentication still uses 1 iteration.

As a point of interest, there are 7,776 unique words in the word list. As such, each word provides log2(7776) ~= 12.92 bits security. So the 4 word phrase Bitwarden generates by default only provides ~51 bits security (your 3 word phrase about 38 bits).

The code you're interested in is here: https://github.com/bitwarden/jslib

an application i use a lot is electronmail, the only problem with it is it's only aur package is a binary that bundles it's own electron. if you could make a package that built it from source and used system electron i would greatly appreciate it!

Using Electron-Mail as a Desktop client on multiple devices (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and can say nothing bad about it - it's basically an electron wrapper with added features - I like having my email in a dedicated app. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail You could also install the website as an app (should work in most browsers).

Electron-Mail offers offline access/ a database. https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

You van use Electronmail to do this in the meantime: https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

also you can look into ElectronMail, which is basically what the official desktop app will probably more or less be

It's not self-hosting, but ElectronMail lets you use ProtonMail in an electron app using their frontend code.

Is there a reason that everyone is asking for an official client and not just using ElectronMail? It's had support for Drive for months

The general go-to recommendation for cross-platform email clients is Mozilla Thunderbird (PrivacyGuides, OpenSource.com). I like to be able to have access to my emails offline and currently, I am using ElectronMail, which encrypts the offline datastore with a password that has be input every time the application is launched (GitHub README.md).
