Is anything special in this version?
- Phoenix26 16y ago
  New Features & Improvements: - Added option to remember key sources (key file paths, provider names, ...); it's enabled by default. - New locking timer (using a timeout instead of a countdown). - Lock files are now hidden. - On Windows 7 and higher, the main window peek preview is now disabled when the KeePass workspace is locked. - File transactions: the NTFS/EFS encryption flag is now also preserved when the containing directory isn't encrypted. - {FIREFOX} placeholder: added support for registry-redirected 32-bit Firefox installations on 64-bit Windows systems. - Relative database paths on the command line are now evaluated relatively to the initial working directory (specified by the parent process) instead of the last used directory. - Improved user-friendliness in UAC dialogs. Improved help (moved placeholders to separate page, ...). - Installer: the KeePass start menu shortcut is now created directly in the programs folder; the other shortcuts have been removed (use the Control Panel for uninstalling and the 'Help' menu in KeePass to access the help). - Upgraded installer. - Various code optimizations. - Minor other improvements. Bugfixes: - (None).

Considering that KeePass 2.14 is significantly better and runs nicely with mono on Linux, I don't see the need for this news item.

  I'm using http://www.keepassx.org/ http://www.keepassx.org/ on GNU/Linux. It's good. And I don't like mono.

I started using PwdHash (http://www.pwdhash.com http://www.pwdhash.com) way back before it was so convenient to sync your KeePass DB with Dropbox. I guess it basically uses a secret/master password as a salt combined with a website's address or other identifier to create a pseudorandom password for that site. No need to sync a database or worry about corruption. I do wonder if there are any security issues unique to it but have not heard of any so far. I wrote an iOS app for PwdHash called Hashed (http://hashedapp.com http://hashedapp.com). There are also browser plugins for Firefox and Chrome and a bookmarklet for any browser called SuperPwdHash (http://cynix.org/tools/superpwdhash http://cynix.org/tools/superpwdhash).
