AliasVault 0.26.0 Released

I'm happy to share that the latest release of AliasVault, 0.26.0 is out now.

This is one of the biggest releases yet with a major architecture upgrade that unlocks long-requested features like custom fields, folders, new item types, history tracking, recently deleted items, and true offline vault access and editing with automatic vault merging.

Alongside these major additions, this release includes security improvements, performance optimizations, and many community-requested fixes.

🏗️ 1. New Vault Architecture

We listened to all your feedback in the last months and designed a new architecture to support all of these ideas. Thanks to this major architecture upgrade, AliasVault now supports the following powerful new features:

New Item Types

AliasVault now supports credit card and secure note item types.

Folder Support

You can now group your credentials using folders, making it easier to organize and find your items.

Custom Fields

Store exactly what you need with custom fields and easy copy/paste.

Field History Tracking

See previous values for usernames and passwords. Track when and how your credentials changed over time.

Recently Deleted Items

Deleted items are now kept in a recently deleted list with the option to restore them, so you can recover accidentally removed credentials.

📴 2. Full Offline Mode

You now have full access to your vault even without a server connection, in both the browser extension and mobile apps.

Key Benefits:

• View and edit your vault completely offline, no internet required
• Changes sync automatically once you're back online
• Built-in conflict merging across all apps and devices
• Field-level merge logic, e.g. username changed on device A, password on device B → both are preserved
• Last-write-wins per field when conflicts occur

This makes AliasVault truly usable on the go, in areas with poor connectivity, or when you simply prefer to work offline.

🌍 3. New Language Options

AliasVault is now also available in Romanian, which means AliasVault is now available in a total of 14 languages! A big thank you to all of our translators who continue to work hard adding translations for all the new and reworked features. Do you want to improve translations and/or make AliasVault available in your native language? Check out the AliasVault project on Crowdin and contribute.

In addition, we added Italian as a language option to the built-in identity generator. Do you want to help make your language available to the identity generator for the alias feature? Check out this guide.

🚀 4. General Improvements

New Rust Core Library

We introduced a new cross-platform core library written in Rust, improving:

• Sync merging reliability
• Autofill matching accuracy
• Shared logic consistency across all clients

Passkey Wizard

When creating a new passkey, the wizard will now suggest existing credentials to save the passkey into, instead of creating a second duplicate entry.

NordPass Importer

A new NordPass import method has been added, making it easier to migrate from NordPass to AliasVault.

Updated Importers

All existing importers have been updated to also import credit cards and secure notes separately, plus folders (if there are any).

🐞 5. Bug Fixes

• Large vaults: Fixed issues where large vaults could throw errors when trying to open them in the browser extension
• Favicon deduplication: Favicon logos are now deduplicated, duplicate credentials for the same website now share the same favicon, resulting in a smaller vault size
• Self-hosted admin: Fixed bug where changing username in the self-hosted admin panel could result in login issues

🔄 6. Upgrade Instructions

This release includes a client vault model update. After upgrading, your vault can only be opened by v0.26.0+ app versions.

For Self-Hosted Users:

Important: Make sure you update your server before updating clients to avoid compatibility issues.
