Visual KeePass Key Files

The KeePass password manager and many variants support key files to enhance the security of your encrypted vault. It's usually an XML file with builtin hash integrity, a 32-byte binary file, or a 32-byte ASCII-encoded hex string. But these are boring.

KeePass, KeePassXC, and many others support any file type. So long as the file is unique and sufficiently secure to be used as a secret cryptographic key, it'll work. So why not have some fun with it?

Below is a random selection of 36 Password Runes from 60 double-sided tiles. See this security analysis for more details.
