      It doesn’t matter how many passwords you are storing inside. It’s the number of cycles of decryption needed to be performed in order to unlock the vault. More cycles = more time.

      You can have an empty vault and it will still be slow to decrypt with a high kdf iteration count/expensive algorithm.

      You can think of it as an old fashioned safe with a hand crank. You put in the key and turn the crank. It doesn’t matter if the safe is empty or not, as long as you need to turn the crank 1000 times to open it it WILL be slower than a safe that only needs 10 turns. Especially so if you have a 10 year old (less powerful device) turning the crank.

          Hmm… I need to test this out then. I have about 200+ entries across multiple folders, but I’m not seeing much of a slowdown. But then again most of my hardware is pretty good (except for one or two devices).

    • Seems like it’s a you/your specific phone problem. Everyone else says it runs well. I have like 130 saved entries on mine and no lag.
