"--iter-time" is > related to the iterations of the passphrase, not the MK. yes but I do not want add another iteration option, too confusing to users. What about derive the MK digest iteration count from calculated keyslot iteration time (I suggest 1/5 of calculated time) - so for default 1 second it is cca 200ms - not accurate, because benchmark uses different message on input) but with minimum 1000 iterations? (on my quite slow testing VM it is cca 20000 iterations) This should be enough. This will add maximum 1.6 second processing time if all 8 slots is used, so it is acceptable but also provides needed slow-down for brute force.
