@thenewoilCan application memory really be dumped on Windows without admin privs?I ask because keepass is not intended to be secure when used on an untrusted computer.On an untrusted computer, the attacker (who controls the O/S) can install a keylogger, see all clipboard activity, dump memory which if it doesn't contain the password, it will contain the key that is derived from the password.If you want protection against a malicious computer, get a hardware password manger like #Signet

@thenewoil The new version is going to be improved, and that's good, but if:1. a normal user couldn't get the password before the fix, and2. an admin user can still recover the decrypted contents after the fixthen I'm not even sure I'd call this a bug. It just seems like security hardening to me. Like I said, that is good, but as a security expert, I think it's important to put these things into perspective.
