Overview
- KeePassXC published version 2.8.0 on Thursday, October 22, 2026, and shipped official native browser add-ons for Chrome and Firefox that can suggest, generate, save and autofill credentials from the desktop app.
- The release adds time-based one‑time password (TOTP) support and Passkey handling so users can store one‑time codes and modern FIDO-style credentials alongside traditional KeePass entries.
- Developers patched multiple flaws present in versions up to 2.7.x, including a KDB importer use-after-free (CVE-2026-69150), an integer overflow and browser-extension input validation issues, and they report the core database encryption was not affected.
- Usability and platform improvements include a native Windows ARM build, configurable hotkeys, faster unlocking on macOS and Linux, Auto-Type support for Wayland, an experimental AArch64 AppImage for Linux and the ability to sync a database via external programs.
- Users should update promptly because browser extensions must be enabled and paired in KeePassXC settings to work, and mobile clients such as Keepass2Android and KeePassium depend on the same database format for Autofill and hardware 2FA support.
