PfP: Pain-free Passwords 2.1.1

This minor release adds "Replace by generated password" password menu option making it easier to replace stored passwords. Also, websites not enabling buttons after password has been filled in by PfP should hopefully not happen any more.

PfP: Pain-free Passwords 2.1.0

The major change in this release is the new sync functionality via storage providers Dropbox and Google Drive (issue #24, #83, #84). It can be used as an automatic backup, but also to sync changes between multiple devices.

Other changes

• Backups created with a different master password can be imported, generated passwords will be converted into stored passwords then (issue #69).
• Pop-up now allows selecting a different website and will display an autocomplete list to aid site selection (issue #52).
• Better support for passwords not bound to a website, one can select the special (none) site name from the autocomplete list (issue #41).
• Keyboard navigation: pressing Escape won't close the pop-up but trigger the Cancel button instead (doesn't work in Firefox).

PfP: Pain-free Passwords 2.0.2

For the first time, there is now a public release for Microsoft Edge. A number of work-arounds for Edge bugs has been implemented (some limitations still remain), at least Edge 41 is required. In addition, an incompatibility with older Firefox versions has been resolved (issue #78).

PfP: Pain-free Passwords 2.0.1

This minor release addresses the following issues:

• Added an easier way to replace Easy Passwords 1.x passwords (issue #73).
• Fixed: Copying user name from the pop-up would sometimes include whitespace (issue #71).
• Fixed: Inconsistent checkbox visuals on the options page.
• Fixed: Documentation links wouldn't open in the web client.
• Fixed: Web client doesn't show any progress indicator while loading (issue #76)
• Website name field no longer shows up empty on special pages, shows a placeholder instead.

PfP: Pain-free Passwords 2.0.0

This is the first release under the new name "PfP: Pain-free Passwords," previous releases went as "Easy Passwords." This release also introduces significant updates to the cryptography powering the extension:

• All metadata saved by the extension as well as backups are now encrypted (issue #47).
• Password generation now uses scrypt algorithm rather than PBKDF2, making guessing the master password even harder (issue #58).
• AES-GCM algorithm is used for encryption rather than AES-CBC (issue #47).

What this means for users

There will be a six months transitional period:

• Passwords generated with the old algorithm are still supported, you have to check "Easy Passwords 1.x password" when recreating them however. Once the transitional period is over, these passwords will be converted into stored passwords, recreating them will no longer be possible.
• Unencrypted backups can still be imported. You should create new backups however, importing unencrypted backups will not be possible once the transitional period is over.

Side-effects of the cryptography update

• All Passwords page can no longer work without a master password and will ask for it if necessary.
• Password notes will now be displayed directly instead of the message "Notes encrypted and saved," no separate decryption step necessary for notes. Showing them on the All Passwords page is optional (issue #65).
• Importing backups created with a different master passwords will fail completely rather than produce a bogus partial result.

Other changes

• A better online version is now available, having most of the extension's functionality.
• Terminology change: "legacy passwords" are called "stored passwords" now.
• All Passwords page will now contain a recovery code for stored passwords. It is safe to print and allows recovering the password if entered into PfP later, assuming that the same master password is still used (issue #64).
• LastPass export files can now be imported just like PfP's own backups (issue #26).
• Added some explanation text to the All Passwords page (issue #66).
• Stored passwords can have revisions as well now, meaning that different passwords for the same username are possible.
• Import and export icons should be more obvious now (issue #49).
• Worked around a Firefox for Android bug, pop-up wasn't being closed after filling in a password (issue #61).
• Fixed checkbox visuals in Firefox.
• Decryption errors will produce a more helpful error message (issue #68).

Easy Passwords 1.2.2

Converted to pure Web Extension (compatible with Firefox 57), data from versions before 1.2 can no longer be imported automatically.

Easy Passwords 1.2.1

• Added limited support for partial passwords (websites asking you for individual password letters).
• Made sure that copying to clipboard works even if clipboard events are disabled in Firefox.

Easy Passwords 1.2

First release for Firefox based on Web Extensions framework. This will move data to the new storage on first startup, so you won't have any data if you downgrade to an earlier version!

Known issues:

• Preferences like autolock delay won't be migrated. If you changed these before, you will have to do it again.
• No Easy Passwords icon in pop-up windows without a toolbar (Web Extensions limitation).
• When filling in passwords, keyboard focus sometimes isn't on the content area (Web Extensions bug).

Easy Passwords 1.1.5

Fixed an error showing up in Chrome when password is copied to clipboard.

Easy Passwords 1.1.4

• Added encrypted password notes.
• Improved display of unexpected errors.
• Fixed messages spamming Error Console in Firefox Nightly.
