Nice! The interface looks very nicely done. I like that you thought about syncing too. Except personally I don't like storing things on Dropbox but I guess it's just metadata too.

I haven't heard of vault, so I looked into it. It looks like it uses CryptoJS with 8 iterations on PBKDF2.

I wrote hash0[1], which is the same sort of master password + salt + site but syncs encrypted metadata with server of your choice.

I found that while working on hash0, that SJCL's[2] PBKDF2 is faster than CryptoJS's implementation, which means I can perform more iterations faster and get the same result. I switched from CryptoJS to SJCL, and have hash0 do 100,000 iterations instead of vault's 8.

Wow, that's really great to know! I'm going to check this out.
