AliasVault 0.30.0 Released

Welcome to AliasVault 0.30.0 🎉

This release now adds support for generating passphrases (based on word dictionaries) in addition to random-character passwords in all AliasVault apps. This has been one of the most upvoted feature requests on GitHub. Click the settings icon in the password field to switch between the two, or set your preferred default for new credentials in the Password Settings.

We also updated a lot of things behind the scenes in the last couple of weeks: we revamped our self-hosted docs website to be more accessible and user friendly. We also moved our official website and communications to aliasvault.com, after recently acquiring this domain. User email aliases continue to use @aliasvault.net, creating a more clear distinction between official AliasVault team/support addresses (.com) and user-generated aliases (.net).

Finally, we're also hard at work on making the sync mechanism and datamodel more efficient. The work on this is well underway and will significantly improve vault synchronization speed across all apps once ready. These upcoming improvements will enable us to introduce vault sharing as well. Stay tuned!

Generate secure passphrases

Passphrase generation has been one of the most upvoted feature requests on GitHub, and it's finally here.

Instead of only generating random-character passwords, AliasVault can now also generate secure Diceware-style passphrases using built-in word dictionaries. Passphrases are easier to remember while still providing excellent security when sufficiently long.

Supported languages include:

• English
• Dutch
• German
• French
• Spanish
• Italian

You can switch between password and passphrase generation from the password field, or configure your preferred default for all newly created credentials.

Help with improving the dictionary lists is very welcome! If you want to help improve the dictionary quality and/or help add more languages, check here for more info: https://docs.aliasvault.com/contributing/

Browser extension improvements

The browser extension received a number of usability improvements over the past weeks, including:

• Better highlighting of credentials matching the current website.
• A streamlined autofill flow for creating new credentials and email aliases.
• Improved 2FA autofill detection and reliability.
• Better passkey compatibility across more websites.
• A default Ctrl+Shift+L keyboard shortcut for manually opening the autofill popup.
• Password generator settings are now configurable directly from the extension, bringing it in line with the web and mobile apps.

Performance and reliability improvements

We've continued improving performance throughout the entire platform, including:

• Lower memory usage during vault imports, exports and synchronization.
• Faster web app navigation and improved responsiveness for larger vaults.
• Faster email loading and API performance.
• Better browser extension reliability and autofill detection.
• Numerous fixes for reported issues across the web app, browser extension, mobile apps and self-hosted deployments.

Self-hosting improvements

Self-hosted deployments also received several improvements, including:

• Completely revamped documentation website.
• Default API endpoints for the official cloud-hosted version now points to aliasvault.com instead of aliasvault.net.
• Various performance and reliability improvements for server deployments.
