Hallo,
I was able to see the password column permanently before last program update. Now password has disappeared behind an asterisk when restarting. Is this possible?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Did you follow the settings in the post I linked?
Is KeePass installed or portable?
Pressing Ctrl H will display the passwords, if you must have them shown.
cheers, Paul

I had this same problem. It appears that the "don't show asterisks" setting is not saved between sessions, unless you also set a separate toggle to save settings between sessions.
I do not know why it was decided to have a setting not saved unless a second setting says to save the first setting. Why stop at two? Why not three? Or ten?
Setting <-- Save that setting <-- Save that setting <-- Save that setting <-- etc.
For myself, I preferred a single setting, which was simply saved. But I am grateful for Keepass, and grateful that it is possible to save settings. Thank you. :)

The best explanation for this (so far) is here, but let me give it a shot: Some users want to be able to unhide passwords occasionally, but also want to ensure that KeePass always (re)starts with them (re)hidden, regardless of how things were when they last shut down KeePass - in case they forget to (re)hide them. This dual setting set allows for that possibility.

I also am having trouble to permanently show passwords instead of asterisks. I cannot find "settings" within Keypass 2, the only Options I can find is under Tools but does not give the option
" Remember Password hiding setting in the main window"
can you please help?

I am having the same issue. After setting the password to show (not hiding) and save, a restart will cause this setting to return to asterisks.
Did you follow the settings in the post I linked?
Is KeePass installed or portable?
Pressing Ctrl H will display the passwords, if you must have them shown.

rats, i didn't see the new setting to remember password hiding - this used to be selected by default and now it appears it has changed...

add a button to the main menu, quickly change the status of password display.
[no save. temp change]
(default: get config dispaly status.)
(close the from to restore display status [get config dispaly])
