MacPass fails to open KDBX file after some security settings were "increased" in KeePassXC #1333
Description
Activity
KeePassKit is enforcing an upper memory limit which you are exceeding. I will raise that a bit and might have to communicate those limits in the UI a bit better. Regardless, using such a slow encryption setup will make the app respond very badly considering autosaves take place frequently. You can disable them which I would not recommend.
which I would not recommend.
Hey I don't think a lot of people would want this change and I see the app has not been updated for a long time so not sure it's even needed.
My use of a KDBX file is very rare. My usual password manager is BitWarden. So you can just close this issue if you think it's not really an issue and it might actually make the experience of regular users worse. I upped the values in my silly attempt to future proof the file in case I misplace it :D
Describe the bug
The file had these settings:
I just changed these (using KeePassXC):
It of course takes much more time to open in KeePassXC but it opens just fine but in case of MacPass it instantly throws:
Expected behavior
A bit of delay is expected but it should be able to decrypt the file and open it.

Additional context
I notice at the time of decrypting the RAM usage of KeePassXC spikes to ≈2GB from the usual ≈140MB and then comes back to the usual. But MacPass RAM usage never goes up so possibly it is not even trying.
