Last month's reported security issue has been addressed in the release.

Information for portable users and users who have used an enforced configuration file already are available on the official website. To continue using them, select Tools > Generate Password > Shield button, make the changes and activate the save button. These too are now stored in the enforced configuration. These can be enabled under Tools > Options > Integration > URL Overrides.

There is a new button in the toolbar to toggle the hiding of the information.Īnother major change pushes several important configuration options into the program's enforced configuration file. Passwords and other sensitive data is hidden behind asterisks now in report dialogs. The traditional "ok" button has been replaced with a "Confirm Export" button to make the action clearer, and the banners have a new background color. The design of export confirmation dialogs has changed as well. Exports do require the "export" application policy flag now "in most report dialogs" and the master password. KeePass 2.54 improves exporting safety further.

Reichl released KeePass 2.53.1 to address the issue by adding a master password prompt to data exports. It revealed that anyone with access to KeePass' configuration file could export the entire password database without user confirmation. Back in February, a warning was released by Belgium's Federal Cyber Emergency Team regarding the export functionality. The new password manager version improves the export functionality significantly. KeePass users who have used URL overrides may want to take a screenshot of them or write them down, as these will be disabled in the new version, unless stored in the enforced configuration file.Ĭheck out my guide on improving KeePass security. The installer will update installations of the password manager automatically. New and existing KeePass users find the download of KeePass 2.54 on the official website.
