Can I change the default password profile in KeePass?

Question

I'd like my default to be 256-bit hex key. Is there a way to configure KeePass with this default?

Answer 1

1. Go to Tools / Generate Password
2. On the Settings tab, select the profile named "256-bit Hex Key"
3. Click the save button to the right of the profile name
4. It will ask for the name of the profile to save to, select "(Automatically generated password for new entries)" and click OK
5. Click OK again and try it!

(I'm using version 2.17, in case it's different in different versions)
