released

Passkeys are still a fledgling technology, as of this writing, and we

are trying to keep pace with the rapid adoption across various websites,

in addition to specification refinements. The following is a short list

of critical improvements to our passkeys support:

Update an existing passkey or add one to an existing entry

Support more specification standards

Various UI improvements to dialogs and context menus

**Show a warning prior to exporting a passkey**

In addition to bug fixes, we always strive to deliver something

useful in each of our updates. For 2.7.8, we have brought forward

several awesome features including:

A database setting to allow a delay prior to auto-save

Improvements to Bitwarden and 1Password importers

Improvements to monospace font display

Improve display of dialog buttons on Linux

**SSH Agent: don’t auto-load keys that are in the recycle bin**
