Brief Summary
EDIT: This issue turns out to be an intended Feature not a Bug
After many trials with several size of wordlists, I hit the exact number of entries below which the imported custom wordlist cannot generate any passphrase. Having custom wordlists with less than 4000 entries has a lots of use-cases. It cannot be ignored or marked non-secure as the entropy can obviously be compensated by increasing the length of the passphrase.
I am not sure if it's a bug or just a feature intended by the developers. I can confirm this issue was not observed in the previous version KeePassXC 2.7.9.
On a side note, I would like to sincerely thank the developers of KeePassXC for their efforts and excellent work that serves a lot of people who care much about their security and privacy.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open KeePassXC
- In the toolbar, click Password Generator
- Select the Passphrase tab
- In the Wordlist line, Goto the right, click the "+" symbol to import a custom wordlist
- Select any text file that contain less than 4000 entries (words)
- Click generate (the refresh arrow button) to generate a new passphrase
Expected Versus Actual Behavior
Expected Behavior: A new passphrase is generated based on the new imported file of custom wordlist
Actual Behavior: The refresh button is "greyed out" and unable to generate any new passphrase
