Out of interest what’s the architecture you have gone with for key rotation and storage, and where the encrypted passwords are stored. (Understand that as an very early stage startup you probably haven’t optimised all this yet)

I know some other services that have had to go this route have used quite elaborate systems to ensure separation between keys, passwords and user details in the event of a hack.

We use a secret manager on our cloud platform for key storage, manually rotate keys (for now), and store encrypted passwords on a separate db.
Perfect. Thanks.
