KeePassXC 2.8.0 Released With Qt6 Support and Native ARM64 Builds
The latest release of KeePassXC transitions the password manager to the Qt6 framework while introducing native ARM64 support, Wayland integration, and enhanced SSH agent capabilities.
KeePassXC 2.8.0 is out as the first stable release in the 2.8 series, moving the application to the Qt6 framework.
Linux users get native Auto-Type support on Wayland sessions via XDG Desktop Portals and an experimental AArch64 AppImage. Security updates patch low to moderate severity vulnerabilities in KDB file imports, browser integration, and SSH agent memory handling, though core cryptography is unaffected.
Functional upgrades include configurable keyboard shortcuts, remote database synchronization with external tools, and SSH Agent capabilities for generating RSA, ECDSA, and Ed25519 keys. Windows administrators can enforce specific user settings through global Group Policy overrides, and native ARM64 builds ship for the first time.
Database statistics now track passkey and TOTP entry counts, accompanied by enhanced suggestion prompts for additional attributes. Bug fixes improve stability on multi-core systems and refine AppImage desktop integration. You can grab installation packages and the full changelog from the official project website, Flathub, and the Ubuntu PPA. Upgrade.
