KeePass password safe released new 2.61 version on Wednesday. Here are what’s new and PPA package for Ubuntu users.<\/p>\n

KeePass 2.61 is the first release of this free open-source cross-platform password manager (through Mono) in 2026. It improved One-Time Password (OTP) support with new options and few fixes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When pasting a shared secret in the one-time password generator settings dialog, it now automatically removes white-space characters (if any) if the selected encoding is Base16\/Hex, Base32 or Base64.<\/p>\n

As you see in the screenshot below, it provides a new button (after preview) allowing to copy the current one-time password to the clipboard. And, it now supports displaying settings of history entries.<\/p>\n

{TIMEOTP}<\/code> placeholder, the built-in function to create time-based one-time password (TOTP), is now classified as non-active. And, the issue editing OTP generator settings caused repeated password has been fixed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Searches in toolbar, preferences, find dialog, etc locations are now more tolerant. They are case- and diacritic-insensitive, so searching with base characters (e.g., a, e) will also match these characters with accents or marks (e.g., \u00e0, \u00e9).<\/p>\n

And, a new ‘Match diacritics’ option is added to find dialog, though disabled by default, for those who want to treat special characters as distinct from their based characters.<\/p>\n

The new version also updated the ‘Synchronize active database with a file\/URL’ trigger action with 2 new options: ‘On error – Silent<\/i>‘ and ‘On error – Continue<\/i>‘, as well as support for synchronizing with multiple files\/URLs at once. See HELP page<\/a> for more about them.<\/p>\n

Other changes include improvements to multi-file import\/synchronization, synchronization, file transaction, and FTP connection error messages, as well as:<\/p>\n
