I started with CBC (without MAC) and upgraded with GCM since it was a more convenient way to provide integrity without adding the MAC step manually.
I should really make sure IV/Salt are regenerated automatically after use. (there is a small print warning in the creator about reuse)

Good idea.

Oof, you really didn't want to do that :) Glad you upgraded to GCM.
