KeePass Password Safe 2.44

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).

KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

Changes from 2.43 to 2.44:

New Features:

• Added option 'Use file transactions for writing configuration settings' (turned on by default).
• If the option 'Do not store data in the Windows clipboard history and the cloud clipboard' is turned on (which it is by default), KeePass now additionally excludes its clipboard contents from processing by Windows' internal ClipboardMonitor component.
• Added commands to find database files ('File' → 'Open' → 'Find Files' and 'Find Files (In Folder)').
• Added 'Edit' menu in the internal text editor (including new 'Select All' and 'Find' commands with keyboard shortcuts).
• Added keyboard shortcuts for formatting commands in the internal text editor.
• Added 'Cancel' button in the save confirmation dialog of the internal text editor.

• Added support for importing True Key 4 CSV files.
• Added command line options for adding/removing scheme-specific URL overrides.
• Added an auto-type event for plugins.
• When loading a plugin on a Unix-like system fails, the error message now includes a hint that the 'mono-complete' package may be required.
• In order to avoid a Windows Input Method Editor (IME) bug (resulting in a black screen and/or an IME/CTF process with high CPU usage), KeePass now disables the IME on secure desktops.

• If ChaCha20 is selected as file encryption algorithm, the database is now saved in the KDBX 4 format (thanks to AMOSSYS).
