The popular KeePass application has just released its final version 2.35. For those who do not know the application is one password manager which stores the data encrypted locally. It's the password manager I use and highly recommend as I don't like the idea of my passwords in the cloud.
Of course, the app has plugins if you want to expand its features, such as synchronizing your data between different devices.
If usesIf you already have the app, just check for new updates and you'll be able to upgrade. Those who do not use it can download it from the link at the end of the publication.
The software is usually available as an installation .exe as well as a portable version.
The new KeePass 2.35 brings a new file format, KDBX 4, which offers improvements over previous releases and new features.
The KDBX 4 file format supports ARgon2 keys. This particular feature earned one competition hashing passwords recently.
Its main advantage over previous operation is that it offers better resistance against GPU / ASIC attacks.
So with her new edition KeePass users can choose between AES-KDF (default used in KeePass versions 2.34 and earlier) along with Argon2 for database encryption.
To change the key derivation function, run KeePass 2.35.
Choose File - Database Settings. On the Security tab, find the "key derivation function."
