[Tails-testers] [Tails News] Tails 5.14

# [Tails 5.14](https://tails.boum.org/news/version_5.14/index.en.html)

# New features

## Automatic migration to LUKS2 and Argon2id

The cryptographic parameters of LUKS from Tails 5.12 or earlier are weak
against a state-sponsored attacker with physical access to your device.

To use stronger encryption parameters, Tails 5.14 automatically converts your
Persistent Storage to use LUKS2 encryption with Argon2id.

Still, we recommend you change the passphrase of your Persistent Storage and
other LUKS encrypted volumes unless you use a long passphrase of 5 random
words or more.

[Read our security advisory and upgrade
guide.](https://tails.boum.org/security/argon2id/index.en.html)

## Full backups from Tails Installer

You can now do a backup of your Persistent Storage from _Tails Installer_ by
cloning your Persistent Storage to your backup Tails entirely.


You can still use the backup utility to go faster while [updating your
backup](https://tails.boum.org/doc/persistent_storage/backup/index.en.html#updating).

## Captive portal detection

Tails now detects if you have to sign in to the network using a captive portal
if you choose to connect to Tor automatically.

The error screen appears more quickly and recommends you try to sign in to the
network as the first option.

## Incentive to donate from _Electrum_

Many people use Tails to secure their Bitcoin wallet and donations in Bitcoin
are key to the survival of our project, so we integrated a way to donate from
_Electrum_ in Tails.

# Get Tails 5.14

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 5.0 or later to 5.14.

You can [reduce the size of the
download](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#reduce) of future
automatic upgrades by doing a manual upgrade to the latest version.

* If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual upgrade](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).

## To install Tails on a new USB stick

Follow our installation instructions:

* [Install from Windows](https://tails.boum.org/install/windows/index.en.html)
* [Install from macOS](https://tails.boum.org/install/mac/index.en.html)
