The password manager KeePass has been updated today to version 2.23. The update shipped roughly a week after the legacy version of the program got updated to version 1.26. KeePass 2.x supports additional features and operating systems.
Password generator
First thing that you may find useful is the ability to generate a password straight from the system tray. Just right-click the icon there and select Generate Password to open the password generator window. If you keep KeePass tucked away in the system tray most of the time, it may save you a couple of clicks when generating passwords.
Password quality
The algorithm that is judging the quality of passwords has been rewritten in the new version. You can find out about the quality by opening any card in the password manager. There you find the quality bar that provides you with a rough indication of a password's security. Values range from 0 (very weak) to over 128 indicating very strong passwords.
Bookmarks Import
KeePass 2.23 can import Mozilla bookmarks in HTML or JSON format, which you can use for safe keeping for example in the application. To do so, select File > Import and select one of the available options under browser here.
Closing Words
KeePass is getting better and better, and while many may find it too complicated to use, it is not really once you have played around with it for a while.
