Now it'll be version 4.1įor Argon2d, recommended starting parameters at 2 iterations, 1GB memory, 2 parallel. Pick one of the groups on the left hand side, right click, edit group, go to Properties tab and add a random tag to the line there (I called mine 'test').Go to File -> Database Settings -> Security and change Key Function to either Argon2d or Argon2id.I'm going to change to argon2, but I'd like to know which database version I was using after making the switch.įor anyone reading this in 2023, do the following to get the latest KDBX 4.1 database format: I don't know if by then KDBX 4 was enforced despite my encryption settings.įrom that same page, 'Up to KDBX 3.1, the number of rounds for AES-KDF was stored in the header field with ID 6 (TransformRounds)', but I don't know how and if you can check that somehow. These don't necessarily enforce the change as of KeePass 2.35 and I don't know if any of my plugins save any data to the database:Īlso, the post in the link mentions KeepPass 2.35 which was released in and I migrated to KeePass in august of 2019 with KeePass 2.42 which was released in. I'm using AES for encryption and AES-KDF. A plugin requests to store custom data in an entry or a group.A plugin requests to store custom header data in the KDBX file.AES-KDF is not selected as key derivation function (KDBX 3.1 only supports AES-KDF any other key derivation function, like for instance Argon2, requires KDBX 4).On this page you can see the conditions that force a migration to KDBX 4 (at least one must be met): I've been reading that KDBX 4 is better than KDBX 3.1 and I've been looking for ways to determine what's the version of my database.
