Desktop edition has different defaults

(1/1)

qwavel:
I installed the desktop edition (version 0.4b for Windows), made my usual changes to the settings, and then found that I was generated 'different passwords'.  By 'different' I mean that they were different then I have generated before, using the firefox plug-in or the web interface.

The problem turned out to be that the desktop edition using different settings.  For example, on the web interface, the default is 12 chars and SHA-256, but with the desktop edition the defaults are 8 chars and MDA.

Is this a bug or have I made some sort of mistake?

Thanks.

Eric H. Jung:
No, you haven't made a mistake. The editions have different histories, so they aren't completely in-sync with defaults. However, they do indeed always generate the same passwords when the same settings are used. Perhaps Miquel is willing to change the desktop defaults.

Miquel?

Miquel 'Fire' Burns:
Hmm, I need to look into this (once I get my development environment setup to actually compile the thing first. Recent reformat of Windows)
