Serious Security: That KeePass “master password crack”, and what we can learn from it

A long-term password leak in memory also means that the password could, in theory, be recovered from a memory dump of the KeyPass program, even if that dump was grabbed long after you'd typed the password in, and long after the KeePass itself had no more need to keep it around.
