The popular KeePass application has just released its final version 2.35. For those who don't know the application, it is a password manager that stores data encrypted locally. It is the password manager that I use and highly recommend as I don't like the idea of my passwords in the cloud. 
Of course, the application has plugins if you wish to expand its functions, such as synchronizing your data between various devices.
If you are already using the app, simply check for new updates and you will be able to upgrade it. Those who are not using it can download it from the link at the end of the post.
The software is usually available as an .exe installer but also a portable version.
The new KeePass 2.35 brings a new file format, KDBX 4, which offers improvements over previous versions and new features.
The KDBX 4 file format supports ARgon2 keys. This feature won a password hashing competition recently.
Its main advantage over the previous mode is that it offers better resistance against GPU/ASIC attacks.
So with the new version, KeePass users can choose between AES-KDF (default used in KeePass versions 2.34 and earlier) along with Argon2 for database encryption.
To change the key derivation function, run KeePass 2.35.
Select File – Database Settings. On the Security tab, find “key derivation function.”
