2025. KeePass adds native support of ARM Windows



Open-source password manager KeePass has released the new versio 2.59. It now support Windows 11 24H2 ARM64 and later without x64 emulation. It also added KeePassLibN library native support, which provides native implementations of AES-KDF and Argon2 on Windows systems. The KeePass KDB import/export module now supports importing and exporting the default user name and the database color. When exporting a database to a KDB file, the root group is now exported, too. The developers added support for opening URLs with alternative browsers (Maxthon, SeaMonkey and Yandex) in private mode. On Unix-like systems, URLs in certain views are now linkified. Also, encrypting/decrypting databases using the AES algorithm is now faster.
