    1. I can't reproduce this. Can you send the content of Help->Info to postmaster at winsshterm.net?

  2. It's worth the upgrade just for alt-enter. Thanks!

  3. I'm getting the following error when not using a master password:

    Unable to use key file "You have to set a Master Password (Filer->Master Password)" (unable to open file)
    Using username "root".
    Pre-authentication banner message from server:

    I did not get this error before I upgraded.

    1. Yes, this is not possible any more for security reasons. I recommend to use keys instead of passwords

    2. So if I use keys instead of passwords for everything, will I be able to omit the master password requirement? It seems the error message above advises otherwise.

      Great tool btw, I use it basically everyday!

    3. Yes. It is convenient to let WinSSHTerm automatically load your key(s) into Pageant at startup (see File->Preferences->Pageant).
