## Information

![Advanced PassGen](https://i.imgur.com/bVTaGO7.png)

Great news, we've just made Advanced PassGen 2.3.0 available for download! This release comes with a new feature: `The vault`, a safe and secure way to store and manage your passwords.
The password vault encrypts your data using AES-265 and stores a file locally that can be transferred to other devices. This allows you to easily manage your passwords on multiple devices and even on the web!

Do note that we do not store any of your data on our servers, so you can be sure that your data is safe and secure. We cannot recover your data if you lose your password, so make sure to remember it!

Advanced PassGen 2.2.0 has just been released. This release contains a couple of quality of life features that should greatly enhance the user experience.
One such example is the way exporting is done. In previous versions, exporting was done by clicking a button and then selecting the export type in a popup. This has now been changed to a dropdown menu that allows you to select the export type before clicking the export button.

Thanks to the community, the following languages have been added to Advanced PassGen:

- Chinese (Simplified)

## Information

![Advanced PassGen](https://i.imgur.com/bVTaGO7.png)

As time goes on, so do our applications. We've just released Advanced PassGen 2.0, which is a complete rewrite of the application.
We've removed the .NET dependency and instead opted to rewrite it into a Tauri application.

The reason behind this is that we want to be able to create applications that are cross-platform, without having to use Electron or .NET.
.NET does not offer cross-platform UI tools, which is why we've opted to use Tauri. Tauri is a great alternative to Electron, as it is a lot faster and uses less resources.

This means that Advanced PassGen is now a native application, which runs in your system's WebView, which is much faster and more lightweight than
what the previous version used (e.g. the .NET Framework).

In addition, because we are using Tauri, Advanced PassGen will run on macOS, Windows and Linux without requiring any dependencies to be installed!

## Changelog

- Complete rewrite in Tauri + React
- Added Dutch translation
- Added French translation
- Simplified Settings window
- Fixed https://github.com/CodeDead/Advanced-PassGen/issues/4
- Fixed https://github.com/CodeDead/Advanced-PassGen/issues/3

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/CodeDead/Advanced-PassGen/compare/1.7.1...v2.0.0
