    The YubiKey button is enabled when PasswordSafe detects a YubiKey device connected to your machine. The fact that it's enabled does not mean that your database requires the YubiKey to unlock. This is configured per database, via the Manage->Change Master Password function, where you can either add or remove the dependency on YubiKey for unlocking. For more details, click on the Help button in this window.

    2.07 is really old, no idea if the export feature was functional then. If you wish, set up a dummy database with a couple of entries, export to plain text, attach the result to this thread and I'll take a look. As to the order, it really doesn't matter, as Excel (or any spreadsheet program) can easily sort the data.

    Hi Ken, The 3.70 database is an evolution of the existing 3.x format, and therefore 3.70 maintains full backwards compatibility with previous versions. Furthermore, older versions of the app can open 3.70 databases with attachments, they'll just treat them as "unknown" fields while perserving them. V4 was a testbed for exploring several ideas that didn't pan out for several reasons. Hopefully there'll be a V5 somewhere down the line, implementing the lessons learned from V4 and providing more features...

    From the latest release notes: New Features in 3.70.0 Password Safe now supports adding a single attachment to an entry. Previously this was only available in the experimental V4 database format. With this release, the ability to add, update, remove and download a single attachment to an entry is now available via a new "attachment" tab in the Add/Edit Entry window.

    From what I read in https://mzl.la/3paI340, you can export your passwords from Firefox into csv format. You should be able to tweak this into something that PasswordSafe can import via File->Import From...->Plain Text. For more details I suggest you (a) read "Notes on Plain Text Export & Import" in the online help, and (b) familiarize your self with what PasswordSafe expects by creating a toy PasswordSafe 3 database, putting in a couple of dummy entries, exporting this in text format and examining...

    Hi Ken, PasswordSafe only uses the "Challenge Response" method. I'm not sure what led you to think there were two methods. When you unlock your safe using Yubikey, the master password you entered is sent as a "challenge", and the response is used to derive the actual encryption key. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want a deeper technical dice.
