Comment on LastPass breach: The significance of these password iterations

Comments

GTX 1080 Ti graphics card (cost factor: less than $1000) can be used to test 346,000 guesses per second.
GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card could test more than 88,000 guesses per second!

Guessing we're missing a zero there?

I don’t think so. 346,000 guesses four years ago was for the old default: 5,000 iterations. 88,000 guesses is on more powerful hardware but with the new default: 100,100 iterations.

Ah gotcha.
