does retain a reference to its component

204 A master key is one or more credentials that can protect a KDBX database. When you encrypt a database with
205 a master key, you will need the master key to decrypt it. B<Keep your master key safe!> If someone gains
206 access to your master key, they can open your database. If you forget or lose any part of your master key, all
207 data in the database is lost.
209 There are several different types of keys, each implemented as a subclass:
212 * L<File::KDBX::Key::Password> - Password or passphrase, knowledge of a string of characters
213 * L<File::KDBX::Key::File> - Possession of a file ("key file") with a secret.
214 * L<File::KDBX::Key::ChallengeResponse> - Possession of a device that responds correctly when challenged
215 * L<File::KDBX::Key::YubiKey> - Possession of a YubiKey hardware device (a type of challenge-response)
216 * L<File::KDBX::Key::Composite> - One or more keys combined as one
218 A good master key is produced from a high amount of "entropy" (unpredictability). The more entropy the better.
219 Combining multiple keys into a B<Composite> key combines the entropy of each individual key. For example, if
220 you have a weak password and you combine it with other keys, the composite key is stronger than the weak
221 password key by itself. (Of course it's much better to not have any weak components of your master key.)
223 B<COMPATIBILITY NOTE:> Most KeePass implementations are limited in the types and numbers of keys they support.
224 B<Password> keys are pretty much universally supported. B<File> keys are pretty well-supported. Many do not
225 support challenge-response keys. If you are concerned about compatibility, you should stick with one of these
231 * One password and one key file
