    Hi, after a while some of my stored passwords become unsearchable and I usually find them in the backup section. Is this normal? I haven't set any expiry dates and my password insertion routine is fairly trivial consisting on the default settings and filling in a few fields. Has anyone else encountered this?

    Backup group most likely means you have KeePass V1?

    When you modify an entry, the old entry is moved to the backup group when the modification is saved. If you then delete the entry, only the old entry in the Backup group will remain.

    Alternatively, you have drag n dropped the entry there.

    cheers, Paul

    I have KeePassXC 2.6.2 where I still have the backup group.

    When you modify an entry, the old entry is moved to the backup group when the modification is saved. If you then delete the entry, only the old entry in the Backup group will remain.

    I see, this is useful to know. Even though I don't recall ever deleting an entry and not having any expiry dates or other means of automation. Does this imply that you think the entries could be deleted in some automated fashion which is why I would be finding them in the backup group?

    This is the KeePass site.

    KeePassXC is over there -> https://keepassxc.org/

    cheers, Paul
