What's New in Passary

We shipped a focused hardening update for vault links, legacy vault unlocks, import parsing, and secret copy behavior.

• Safer Vault Links: Stored entry URLs now render as clickable links only when they use a safe web scheme.
• Legacy Vault Guardrails: Older V1 vault headers now get stricter key-derivation parameter checks before unlock work begins.
• Import & Clipboard Safety: Google CSV imports now have tighter field-count limits, and copied passwords use the same timed clipboard clearing as one-time codes.

We completed a routine dependency and release-maintenance pass to keep Passary’s web app and extension distribution healthier over time.

• Dependency Refresh: Updated package resolution to reduce known dependency advisories without changing how your vault works.
• Cleaner Extension Packaging: Tightened the downloadable browser extension package so public builds ship only the files needed for installation.
• Release Hygiene: Continued refining the safety checks around build and distribution so future updates are easier to verify before rollout.

We now have the first browser autofill milestone in place. This is still an early access release, but Passary can already connect to an unlocked vault tab and help with real login flows without changing our offline-first, zero-knowledge model.

• Popup Autofill: Look up matching accounts, choose the one you want, and fill username, password, and TOTP from the extension.
• Save & Update Prompts: Passary can detect submitted logins and offer to save a new credential or update an existing one.
• Right-Click Autotype: For faster use, the extension now supports browser context-menu actions for full login fill, username only, password only, and TOTP only, including multi-account selection on supported sites.

This update is focused on reliability rather than a headline feature. We completed a broad core-app hardening pass to make Passary safer to maintain and easier to verify without changing the fundamentals of how your vault works.

• Safer Core Architecture: The vault interface and internal session logic were broken into smaller, more testable modules so future updates are less likely to introduce regressions.
• Stronger Regression Coverage: We expanded automated tests around crypto, storage, persistence, imports, tag and folder workflows, and other high-risk vault behavior.
• Release Hardening: We added stricter release verification, architecture docs, and manual smoke procedures so core changes are easier to validate before shipping.

We've introduced experimental Progressive Web App (PWA) support, allowing you to install Passary directly to your device for a native-like experience.

• Offline Access: Fully functional without an internet connection. Your vault is always available, wherever you are.
• Native Integration: Installs to your home screen or desktop, running in a dedicated window without browser distractions.
• Smart Context Switching: Intelligent navigation ensures your secure vault session remains isolated while allowing easy access to external resources.

We've continued to refine the user interface based on your feedback, with a strong focus on mobile usability and visual consistency across the entire app.

• Mobile Layout Unified: The mobile navigation now features a seamless "All Entries" row that perfectly matches the styling of Favorites and Recent items, removing visual clutter.
• Folder Actions: You can now create and manage folders directly from the "All Entries" list on mobile, bringing full feature parity with the desktop sidebar.
• Desktop Icons: We've updated the desktop sidebar with cleaner, unified iconography and polished active states for a more modern look.
• Compact Mode Polish: Fine-tuned the spacing and sizing in Compact Mode to ensure every element aligns perfectly, regardless of your density settings.

We've focused on optimizing the core vault experience, making it faster and smoother for users with large collections, alongside refining the import process.

• Vault Performance: Significant rendering improvements for vaults with 1000+ items. Navigation and scrolling are now buttery smooth thanks to advanced virtualization.
• Better Imports: Fixed an issue where importing from KeePass or Google Password Manager would trigger an unnecessary file download. Imports now seamlessly save to your local browser storage.
• Search Improvements: Added a quick clear button to the search bar for faster interactions.

We've kicked off 2026 with a comprehensive update focused on refining the core user interface and organization tools, ensuring a consistent and powerful experience across all devices.

• Improved Tags Management: We've completely overhauled how you handle tags on mobile. A new floating selection bar allows for rapid bulk actions, and we've added smart tools to identify and clean up unused tags, keeping your vault organized.
• Compact Layout: For power users who prefer high information density, the "Compact View" setting now applies universally. Whether you're on the desktop sidebar or the mobile navigation drawer, the interface respects your preference for tighter spacing and smaller text.
• UI Improvements: The mobile experience has received significant polish. The folder navigation now supports full hierarchy with visual indentation, ensuring deep folder structures are easy to navigate. We've also refined action buttons to be more accessible on touch screens.

You can now generate 2FA codes directly within Passary, keeping your login flow fast and completely local.

• Built-in Authenticator: Replace your phone app for desktop logins. Everything stays offline.
• QR Code Support: Upload a QR code image to instantly set up your TOTP secrets.
• Auto-Clear Clipboard: Copied codes are automatically wiped from your clipboard after 30 seconds.

We've introduced Keyfile support and a new V2 vault format, strengthening Passary's local-only security model.

• Password + Keyfile Protection: Vaults can now require both your master password and a keyfile stored separately. Without the exact keyfile, the vault cannot be unlocked.
• V2 Vault Cryptography: New vaults use Argon2id + HKDF-SHA256, with vault-specific binding and authenticated headers for stronger offline attack resistance.
• Risk-Aware Settings Layout: Settings are now organized by security impact, clearly separating everyday preferences from irreversible cryptographic operations.

We've added a highly requested feature to make switching to Passary even easier. You can now securely import your passwords directly from Google Password Manager (Chrome).

• Local-Only Processing: Your CSV export is parsed and encrypted entirely within your browser—no data is ever sent to our servers.
• Intelligent Merge: Passary automatically handles duplicates and conflicts to ensure a clean vault.
• Step-by-Step Guide: We've published a detailed guide to help you migrate safely and securely delete your unencrypted export file.

We've added comprehensive resources to help you get the most out of Passary while maintaining our commitment to transparency.

• Complete KeePass Import Guide: Published a detailed step-by-step tutorial covering the entire migration process, from finding your .kdbx file to verifying imported data. Includes troubleshooting tips for common issues and answers to frequently asked questions.
• AI Usage Policy: Added a transparent policy defining how AI systems can interact with Passary's content. We've clarified what's permitted (indexing, transient processing) and what's strictly prohibited (training, embeddings, datasets) to protect both intellectual property and user privacy.

migrating from KeePass has never been easier. You can now import your existing .kdbx vault files directly into Passary, entirely client-side.

• Zero-Knowledge Processing: Your database is decrypted locally in your browser, ensuring no sensitive data ever touches our servers.
• Full Support: Compatible with both KDBX v3 and v4 file formats.
• Structure Preservation: Option to maintain your existing folder hierarchy or flatten the structure during import.
• Data Integrity: Automatically imports titles, usernames, passwords, URLs, notes, and custom fields.

The mobile experience has been significantly tweaked and optimized. Accessing your vault on the go is now smoother and more user-friendly than ever.

• Responsive Layout: Optimized views for all screen sizes, eliminating horizontal scrolling.
• Mobile Navigation: New slide-out drawer for easy access to folders and filters.
• Touch-Friendly Controls: Larger buttons and improved spacing for better usability on touch devices.

We have successfully moved from passary.hu to passary.com. The service is back to normal and fully operational.

We've refined the keyboard shortcut system for better compatibility and ease of use.

• Improved Handling: Tweaked shortcuts to function better across different operating systems.
• Conflict Resolution: Resolved conflicts with browser defaults for a smoother experience.

We are thrilled to announce the initial release of Passary! This version brings the core functionality of our zero-knowledge password manager to your browser.
