The popular KeePass app just released the final version of 2.36. For those who do not know the application is a password manager that stores the data encrypted locally. It's the password manager I use and I highly recommend because I do not like the idea of my code 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 KeePass 2.36 comes with new features and fixes for most of it. There have been several improvements to the control of existing passwords.
Users of KeePass will now have options to check for duplicate or similar passwords and to create a password quality report that provides an assessment of the quality of all passwords.
Existing users may download the new version from the developer's site. Although KeePass can underline that a new version is available, automatic updates are not yet part of the program.
KeePass users can control the password manager version by selecting Help> About KeePass in the interface.
The new Keepass 2.36 comes with two new password control options. Both are in Edit> Show Entries or Edit> Shows Entries.
The first option is called Find Duplicate Passwords, and it scans the entire password database to find out if the same passwords exist. The results appear immediately after the scan does not take more than one - two seconds.
The second option, called Find Similar Passwords, lists all accounts with codes that resemble at least 20%.
Both of the above options will help you stay safe online by using unique codes in each of your accounts.
