KeePassXC password manager released new 2.7.11 version today! See what’s new and how to install instruction for Ubuntu & Linux Mint.<\/p>\n

The new release of this free open-source cross-platform password manager finally added the long requested feature: auto-generate a password for new entries.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By enabling the option in Settings -> General -> Basic Settings -> Entry Management, it will automatically generate a password when you adding a new entry.<\/p>\n

However, it seems like the feature does not follow user password generation preferences, as it always create a 32 length password with only uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers in my test.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For those who use KeeShare feature to share specific group of passwords with separate and synchronized database file. The feature has been updated with ability to sync group structure<\/b>.<\/p>\n

To use KeeShare, simply go to Settings -> KeeShare and enable ‘Allow Import’ and ‘Allow Export’, then in group edit or create page, go to KeeShare -> Export to export the group to a separate database file.<\/p>\n

Then, open another database, create a group and go to KeeShare page to import that separate database. After that, you have the group synchronized between the 2 databases.<\/p>\n

Previously, KeeShare only sync the password entries, since v2.7.11, all the sub-groups are now synchronized. And, according to the pull request<\/a>, it will perhaps sync root group icon if possible, and add option to disable group sync in future.<\/p>\n

It as well enhanced the search function. It by default provides real-time search suggestions as user type. Now, a new “Press Enter to search” option<\/strong> is added, in which case it won’t start searching function until you press Enter in search box.<\/p>\n

And, it added has:totp<\/code> support in search-box as well as “Searches and Tags” section, allowing to search only TOTP (Time-based One Time Password) entries. And, it should also support !has:totp<\/code> to exclude TOTP, while the pull request<\/a> page uses is:totp<\/code> and !is:totp<\/code> as the search queries.<\/p>\n
