Password Tech 3.4.5 released

less than 1 minute read

Password Tech 3.4.5 features compression of password databases (using the Deflate algorithm), including setting the compression level from 1 to 9, a password quality bar below the password box, as well as prompting the user to confirm a changed password in the password manager. The password quality bar below password boxes has been reworked such that the color runs from red/orange to yellow to green. An advanced algorithm (zxcvbn) is provided for better estimation of the password quality.

As of version 3.4.5, Password Tech uses the PO format (.po files) for translations. The custom LNG format (.lng files) is considered deprecated. Instructions on converting translations from the old LNG to the new PO format can be found in the manual. Password Tech still supports both formats but I recommend all translators to switch to the PO format at the earliest opportunity, since it is more powerful than LNG and also widely supported by many applications and editors, such as POEdit.
