KeePassXC 2.3.1 released

Posted on  in Releases

A week has gone by since our last big feature release and today we announce the first 2.3 maintenance release KeePassXC 2.3.1.

KeePassXC 2.3 came with a lot of new features and, not unexpectedly, also quite a few new bugs, which we address in this new release.

Most importantly, we fixed two critical issues where an automatic KDBX 4.0 upgrade or an accidentally unplugged YubiKey could strip a challenge-response key when saving the database. KeePassXC now shows an error message when trying to save a challenge-response-secured database without a YubiKey.

We also fixed a few platform-specific crashes, which weren’t critical, but definitely annoying, as well as a few minor regressions. Two of them being qtbase translations not being loaded and the database tab order being mixed up after restarting KeePassXC.

The new release can be downloaded from our downloads page on GitHub, our Ubuntu PPA, and Snapcraft.
