KeePassXC 2.3.0 released

After a short beta phase, we are proud to release KeePassXC 2.3.0.

With this release, we reach another major milestone on our journey to providing you with the best and most secure cross-platform password management tool. KeePassXC 2.3 comes with a lot of new features and bug fixes which our users have been waiting for long enough.

Among the highlights of the release are KDBX 4.0, Argon2 as a new key derivation function, SSH agent integration, a new entry preview panel and an all-new browser plugin, called KeePassXC-Browser, which replaces the old KeePassHTTP-based plugins.

Thanks to our active community, KeePassXC also received a great number of new and updated translations and is now available in 32 languages, with even more being under development on Transifex!

Download

As usual, you can find the new release on our downloads page for Linux (as a cross-distribution AppImage), Windows and macOS.

Ubuntu users can also install the latest version from our official Ubuntu PPA or via Snapcraft.

Our new browser plugin KeePassXC-Browser can be downloaded from the Chrome Webstore for Google Chrome, Chromium and Vivaldi or the Mozilla Add-ons Repository for Mozilla Firefox. For users of KeePassHttp-Connector, PassIFox, chromeIPass or other KeePasssHTTP-based browser extensions, we created a migration guide to get you started with the new browser extension.
