## New Features

### Launch PAM Sessions From the Browser Extension

You can now launch Privileged Access Management (PAM) sessions—including Machine, Database, and Browser record types—directly from the browser extension via a "Launch" button, which redirects to the web app to initiate the session.&#x20;

### Password Strength Computational Algorithm Update&#x20;

As you create or save passwords, the extension instantly evaluates their strength against millions of real-world patterns — catching deceptively weak passwords that typical rules miss. Instead of arbitrary complexity rules, you get a meaningful security score and plain-language guidance that actually helps you create harder-to-crack passwords.

### "What's New" Section

Integrated a "What's New" section into the Options menu, giving users a chronological overview of the latest features with direct links to the corresponding release notes.&#x20;

### Master Password Reveal Option at Login

We've added a master password visibility toggle that lets you temporarily reveal your masked password as you type, helping you catch and correct typos before submitting. Simply click on the eye icon at login to reveal the master password you entered.
