  • SSH Agent integration
  • Auto-Type on all supported platforms for automagically filling in login forms
  • Key file and YubiKey challenge-response support for additional security
  • TOTP generation (including Steam Guard)
  • CSV import from other password managers (e.g., LastPass)
  • Command line interface
  • Stand-alone password and passphrase generator
  • Password strength meter
  • Custom icons for database entries and download of website favicons
  • Database merge functionality
  • Automatic reload when the database was changed externally
  • Browser integration with KeePassXC-Browser for Google Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, and Mozilla Firefox.

KeePassXC 2.5.2.

This update comes with additional fixes to reported issues after our initial release. Thank you for your
patience and detailed reports that allowed us to fix these problems. Overall this release brings significant
stability and usability improvements to KeePassXC. Most notably are fixes to crashes when the database is
stored in a cloud storage service and resolving site sub-domain matching for the browser extension.

Additionally, it comes with several macOS related fixes including support for Qt 5.14 and using a readable monospace font for the password and notes fields.
