Replace legacy key file for key file in KeePass database

in #keepass4 years ago (edited)

I use key files for multiple years now and I switched from KeePass client to KeePassXC.
Since than I get info message about my key files being legacy. I decided to replace the key file format with the new one.

This can be achieved in 3 steps:

  1. Open KeePass database with old key file format
  2. Go to Databases' security settings and remove the current key file

Oh dang it. Caught this post too late. I use a smartcard to encrypt mine. It can be a pain sometimes (especially if mobile) but think the security tradeoff is worth it.

Yay!
