The popular KeePass app has just released its final version 2.35. For those unfamiliar with the application it is a password manager that stores data encrypted locally. It is the Password manager that I use and highly recommend as I do not 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 you're already using the app, just check for new updates and you can upgrade it. Those who do not use it can download it from the link at the end of the post.
The software is usually available as an .exe installation 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 feature won a password hashing contest recently.
Its main advantage over the previous mode is that it offers better resistance against attacks GPU/ASIC.
So with her new edition οι χρήστες του ΚeePass μπορούν να επιλέξουν μεταξύ AES-KDF (προεπιλογή που χρησιμοποιείται στις εκδόσεις του ΚeePass 2.34 και προηγούμενες) μαζί το Argon2 για την κρυπτογράφηση της baseof data.
To change the key derivation function, run KeePass 2.35.
Choose File - Database Settings. On the Security tab, find the "key derivation function."
