v1.7.0 - Better Synchronization

Important notice: Newly created Passy accounts will use Argon2 key derivation by default. Accounts with key derivation enabled will not be able to synchronize with classic accounts. This is because of the changes in the synchronization process aimed to increase synchronization stability and to make it faster and safer for you. You can upgrade your older accounts to use key derivation by setting it to Argon2 in ⚙️ -> Security -> Key derivation. If you still want to synchronize older instances of Passy without upgrading them (e.g. because this update is not yet available for some of your devices) with v1.7.0+, set key derivation to None in ⚙️ -> Security -> Key derivation for your new v1.7.0+ accounts.

Downloads: https://github.com/GlitterWare/Passy/blob/main/DOWNLOADS.md

New Features:

• Key derivation 🔑 - make your master password harder to guess with Argon2 key derivation.
• Biometric login for Android autofill 🖐️
• KDBX import implemented 🗄️
• Synchronization logs 🗒️ - see past synchronization logs for current session.
• Synchronization servers 🖥️ - set up a standalone Passy server to synchronize remotely.
• Passy CLI can now be ran with passy cli - Passy CLI is a nearly fully-fledged Passy command-line client.

Changes:

• Changing master password now prompts for account backup.
• Various synchronization optimizations.
• Entries file IO optimized.
• CSV imports optimized.
• Better markdown icons.

Fixes:

• Android autofill revived.
• Synchronization stabilized - entry history is no longer renewed during synchronization.
• Flatpak $HOME storage - Passy Flatpak can now store data in $HOME when it is configured as a documents folder in ~/user-dirs.dirs.
• Rich text font errors fixed.

v1.6.0 - Markdown Notes

New Features:

• Markdown notes 📝 - allows to enable markdown mode for rich text features in any note (see https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax).

Fixes:

• Entries are now re-encrypted properly during account password change. If you have already changed your account password and currently have a gray screen, change your current account password to your old one first and then update to v1.6.0, where you can update your account password properly.
• Custom fields now allow ,, [ and ] characters without breaking entries. Previously broken entries are recovered and saved with nickname Recovered entry.
