Padloc v4.1 - Vault Item History and Expiration Period

With our recent version 4 update, Padloc made a giant leap forward, introducing many exciting new features such as Dark Mode, the Security Report, Rich Text notes and much more.

But we're not done yet! Our latest update is not quite as big as the last one, but there are still are few much anticipated new features to be found.

Item History

Don't we all wish we could travel back in time sometimes? Well, thanks to those blasted laws of physics, you can't. But now, thanks to Padloc's new item history feature, your vault items can!

Whenever you update a vault item, Padloc will now automatically keep a record of the previous version for you. This can be a life saver in some situations, like when you've accidentally edited the wrong item, or when you've already updated a password in Padloc and then the website asks your for the old password before entering the new one 😅.

Padloc's vault item history feature allows you to view those older versions of your item, and even allows you to restore your vault item to that version! And all of this with just a few clicks 😊.

To learn more about this new feature, check out our user manual.

Expiration Periods

Many services and companies require a password to be changed in regular intervals. But even if it's not a requirement, rotating your passwords regularly is not a bad idea in general! By adding an expiration period to your vault item, you can let Padloc now remind you when it's time to update it.

Once you've added an expiration period, Padloc will monitor the number of days since the item has been updated. If the defined number of days is exceeded, your item will show up in the Security Report under "Expired Items" until you update it or remove the expiration period.

More about expiration periods and how they work can be read in our user manual.
