After upgrading to iOS 14, many KeePassium users are greeted by “The file doesn’t exist” message.

No worries, your passwords are safe — it’s just the new iOS breaks KeePassium’s links to files. (And does that intentionally, for whatever reason.)

App subscriptions are often seen as “renting” the software. One can use it only while paying for it. This puts users at the mercy of the developer:

• The rates are increasing? — Keep paying or lose access.
• Support does not respond? — Keep paying or lose access.
• No useful features for months? — Keep paying or lose access.
• You want to cancel? — Forget about the money already spent.

No wonder users hate subscriptions.

On the other side, improving the app and providing support is a regular work with no end date. A single purchase won’t do — continuous work requires continuous revenue.

How can we solve this?

The new update brings quite a few improvements: new app icon(s), improved backup, detailed file locations, Japanese translation, and free trial for premium subscription.

This guide will help you migrate from MiniKeePass to KeePassium.

Good news, everyone!

KeePassium is the first KeePass app for iOS that supports YubiKey.
