Question

While creating a Twilio Zap (and others), we are required to provide the Account Sid and the Account Token for your existing Twilio account.

I suppose this is stored by Zapier somewhere (hopefully with reversible crypto), otherwise they cannot execute future requests. Does anybody know how safe is this? Have they published any information about how they protect this data?

EDIT

Well, nothing some googling couldn't help

Yes, they encrypt the data with AES and store the keys separately. I guess there will always be the danger of data breaches, but that's the trade-off.

I just wonder why their own login credentials use SHA (with 1000 iterations), while I believe the most recommended would be bcrypt.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Zapier co-founder here, we've recently updated to use PBKDF2 with 10k iterations (the standard Django hashing scheme). We'll progressively update these from time to time as standards dictate.
