maximum number of secrets (50?)

[kizm0]

Hello,

i do have a Nitrokey 3 which stores 50 passwords in the secret app. By adding the 51th i get the error AddCredentialJobSecretsAppException(NotEnoughMemory). I was not able to find any hardcoded limitation of secrets. Is there a limitation of secrets (number/total bytes)?

Thank you!

Indeed there currently is a hard limit of 50 credentials. The reason for this is that listing all credentials can get pretty slow if there are many (several hundred). We therefore chose a rather conservative limit for the first release. We definitely plan to significantly increase the limit once we have improved the iteration speed and implemented faster alternatives. I’ve created a tracking issue for that: #120

We already did some of the work required for this, but there are still some components missing. As a first step, we could maybe add a configuration option to increase the limit for users that are willing to pay the performance penalty.

thanks for the answer, the option with the configuration would be awesome - i do not have a problem to wait several seconds ;)
