v1.2.0 Release Notes

Welcome to PassVault v1.2.0. This update brings many new features. Before diving into it, though. I recommend you backup your data located in %LocalAppData%\PassVault\Data.

Changes

Rich Input

Inputs throughout PassVault have been redesigned.

Table

The table code has been completely rewritten and now will feel more seamless and optimized. Every cell is now an input field but in read-only. When you click the edit button, then you can edit the cells. This replaces the old system of adding input fields in every cell and removing when the user cancels or confirms their changes.
Also there's a cool animation for all rows when you open the vault!

Master Password Strength

Now PassVault makes sure your new master password is strong by checking if it includes upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. So that you're master password is harder to crack.

Popups

Old dialog boxes have been moved to the new popup library so that they look more consistent with the rest of PassVault.

String Trimming

Now strings in all inputs fields throughout the program are trimmed.

Icons

Added/updated 27 icons.

Other Changes

• Hint to write down your master password when setting up PassVault
• User no longer able to create multiple instances of PassVault
• Confirming edits while in search mode will prompt PassVault to search again
• Changed installer

Installation

Please note that I moved to a different installer which helps me ship patches and updates much quicker than the old installer. That being said, you are going to have to manually remove the old PassVault installation in C:\Program Files\PassVault-win32-x64.

v1.1.0 Release

The new release adds many features to PassVault. All will be outlined here!

Features

Disable Animations

Do you want PassVault to feel snappy? Disable animations in the settings and there will be no transitions.

Custom Icons

You can now use your own icons if you prefer them over the bundled icons. Click on the "open icons" button in the settings menu and put all your custom icons there. All image file types are supported.
Note: The image filename has to be lowercase.

Developer Tools

If you would like to debug the program in production mode. You can now by enabling developer tools in the settings menu.
Note: it is recommended that you keep this setting off. Having this setting on leaves your data vulnerable.

Tooltips

When you hover over any icon (add, settings, search, etc). A little tooltip pops up hinting to what it does.

You can now see your typed password in the login menu.
