My DLL File is from 2011 and I would like to update to the newest version. However I can't find this dll file anywhere.
Answer: Download the latest release and copy it in the keepass plugins folder (ie: C:\Program Files\KeePass Password Safe 2\Plugin).
Released files are also available in the master branch.
Can I generate using a particular saved configuration, without loading the config dialog every time?
I have multiple patterns for generating passphrases, and I'd like to switch between them quickly.
Answer: You can associate a saved configuration with a KeePass password profile. Then you can generate passwords using that profile right from the password entry dialog in KeePass without ever loading the password generator or word sequence configuration dialog.
The wiki says the options hidden behind advanced mode can make my password weaker. But, don't they increase the number of possible passwords, therefore making it harder to guess?
Answer: All of the advanced options introduce a chance that your password will be shorter. While technically this adds some more possible passwords, in theory requiring more guesses, the strength benefit of an additional sequence item is far greater. So it's always best to always include as many words as you're comfortable with using.
Think of it this way: if you set up a configuration that 99% of the time will generate the single word, "password" and then 1% of the time will generate a 30 diceword phrase, then most of the time you will get TERRIBLE passwords. The strength bar takes a weighted average of the possible strengths to show you that most of the time this will weaken your password.
And that's why we hide those options behind the "advanced" menu item.
