I was backuping all the data I have gathered in the past 20 years including a copy of my Keepass database (profesional & personnal stuff, pictures of lost family members, etc.) in a WD external Hard Drive encrypted by WD Security software.Īll the data was supposed to be duplicated in another Hard Drive the day after.īut when I started my laptopd, my KDBX database was not in my desktop folder anymore. My KDBX database was stored in my desktop folder (Win10). I much appreciate KeePass, thank you for creating and maintaining such a game-changing industry leader.I am reaching out about a nightmare scenario I am now facing. Is there something else that could have been producing this error on a system with plenty of resources available? It seems dubious that the problem was 'scant memory' since I have nearly 32GB of ram available (and over 50GB of drive space). While the file normally 'lives' in a nextcloud sync directory, I copied to a non-sync'd directory for testing, no change. I did all testing with no plugins on a portable installation of 2.53.1 on windows 11. I have since brought it back up to 4 rounds, 500MB, parallel 4, and it still opens. I then reduced the parallelism to 2 and memory to just 1MB (just to test it), and that worked, suggesting something internally was attempting to over-preallocate memory. Reducing the number of rounds to 2 did not work. In KP2A, I was able to reduce all of that (change/sync/test/repeat). I open the file multiple times a day, every day of the week. Key derivation function: Argon2d, rounds=4, memory: 1GB, parallelism=4.Encryption: AES/Rijndael (256-bit key, FIPS 197).Current database settings (read from my mobile):

The only changes I've made (about 2-3 weeks ago) is to increase the encryption on the file. I share the file to my mobile (via nextcloud), and the same file opens using Keepass2Android without problem. It is not on under enterprise-control, no GPOs or otherwise not normal to windows should be affecting things.

I have made no other system changes recently. My laptop has 64GB of ram, and it is currently showing only 32.5GB obligated. The file has not changed recently, no other process has it open (afaict). Failed to load the specified file ! Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
