Notifications on mobile app and/or browser plugin

Hi,

I’ve been using Bitwarden on my mobile device and browser plugin for a few years now, and have rarely had the need to go into my vault from a web browser. I also haven’t visited the community forum in a few years.

On a whim I logged into my web vault and was surprised to find that the minimum recommended PBKDF2 iterations had increased to 600,000, and that Argon2 had also been implemented as an option - this is fantastic - I also saw the recommendation concerning my low KDF iteration count.

It struck me that other users such as myself, happily using the mobile app/web extension, but rarely having a need to log into the web vault, would never know about these important changes.

I was wondering whether it was feasible to include similar “important security” notifications in the mobile app/browser extensions, so this isn’t missed in the event you rarely visit your web vault?

Thanks for considering.

Hi @Col, it’s been a while - welcome back!

I’m sorry to hear that you missed this. We did include the Low KDF communication in our newsletter and release notes. (You can sign up for release note emails here)

We’re continuing to look for ways to improve customer communications, so thank you for the feedback and suggestion!
