KeePass 2.57 released with security feature to prevent certain screen captures, and more

KeePass, the free and open-source password manager, has released its latest version 2.57. This update introduces a security feature to block certain screen captures, though it may also affect legitimate software like remote desktop solutions and accessibility tools. Key files can now be created on the secure desktop, enhancing security further.

Version 2.57 also includes shortcut keys for 'Copy Group (Encrypted)' and 'Paste Group' commands. Databases will now be saved in the KDBX 4/4.1 file format by default, with an option to export to KDBX 3.1 if needed. Improved compatibility with Remote Desktop Client, an option to remember password hiding setting in the main window column configuration dialog, and various other enhancements and bug fixes round out this comprehensive update.
