If you want to open the last database on startup: Tools >> Options >> Advanced Check the box for "Remember and automatically open last database on startup" Hope that brings up the password window as soon as you open Keepass.

One point to the critics on this topic. I guess, most of the users didn't pay anything for using KeePass. But they still think that here personal preferences are the bible for the Author and user users.

"It's especially hard to see why people who use this feature all the time can't set up their workflow to use an even faster method of creating duplicates, namely Ctrl+K." - You acknowledge that user dissatisfaction arises when developers have a hard time understanding what users want. Users asked for more context menu features, but the opposite happened.

While I understand that it is another component, the incremental burden of managing another plugin doesn't seem great. For example you could bundle them in a zip file. Can you explain why it is burdensome in your case? It is especially hard to understand why people that use the feature all the time can't adjust their workflow to use an even faster method of creating duplicates, namely Ctrl+K.

@wellread1 Sorry but for us that is horrible, yet another plug-in to manage, keep synced between installs, manage the updated plug-in, etc. Could you just add the option in the setting with a check box to display on the context menu or not. The default would be unchecked but anyone that wants it back can just open setting and check the box to add it back to the contect menu. Win-win for everyone. Please think about this idea, in our group we manage waaaay too many KeePass installs to add a plug in...

Hello New Here, created an account to support putting the dulicate entry back on the right mouse menu. I use this feature every day we maintain a database with over 50000 entries, and I have 4 staff working in KeePass and use it all the time. Now my clients are asking what happened the upgrade remove something they were using all the time. Please add this back to the context menu. Thank you very much.

Hello, Am reading about URL override, but am failing on a (stupid) point. I'm using cmd://cmd /c "some.exe-i:{USERNAME} -p:{PASSWORD}" like command and it works. My issue is that some.exe need to be running (yes, not that fine) so I set cmd://cmd /c "some.exe & timeout /t 5 /nobreak & some.exe -i:{USERNAME} -p:{PASSWORD}" And there, the 1st call never ends, need to exit the app to see the timeout starting and follow up.

Hi All, I think I had the similar issue. I think your issue looks the same as my screenshot. For me KeePass (2.54 Windows 11) was working it was just not visible once I unlocked my database. Every setting was available, closing and reopening brought up the initial log in prompt. It looked like it's putting it to the tray. My co-worker figured it out after facing the same case and after reinstallation didn't solve the issue either. Issue here is that I closed KeePass on a monitor. But when I only...

If you conduct a survey, you will find out which context menu function is most important. For me, duplicate entry is one of the most necessary function.

This idea stolen from Dominik's suggestion. In my "entry A" I created a String Field "LINK TO" with the value the TITLE field of "Entry B" ("{REF:T@I:0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF}"). Then in "Entry B" I also created a "LINK TO" String Field which points back to "Entry A".

KeePass' auto-type feature allows the user to customize the auto-type keystroke sequence for non-standard login pages. See the KeePass Auto-Type Documentation for details. KeePass only sends keystrokes to a web page or application, it does not "read" page contents. Reading would require integration with the browser or application. This won't be implemented for security reasons, i.e. KeePass works at arms-length to the browser or application. There are third-party applications that are file compatible...

Sometimes the website not fallow the standard and it's not possible for KeePass to use auto- fill as it is no way for it to tell what to fill out if it's not any standard format. This could be fixed easy if there was away to let it detect the values where you can set them manually and it¨s always found in the html code but what i know there is still no way and to my surprise no plugin ether to do this in KeePass As an example i have a text-box with the name "Fastighet" and the html code for this...

JDB posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion
Thanks again! Sorry I missed this again in the documentation. The Audit Trigger method lets me keep a logfile. I see now that internal commands can execute fine if they are included in the action script (and not in external BAT files which require elevation/UAC). I'm not going to worry about using a lock file (or multi-user db). Chances of a collision in my environment are almost non-existent. It makes more sense to trigger a backup based on a timer or program startup.
-
See the Audit Trigger for some ideas. https://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html#audit The Multi User(ish) trigger collection is an example of using files to control what KeePass does. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/ec13ed6fc0/ cheers, Paul

I attempted to introduce a log file into my Trigger actions. It's a simple cmd BAT file, which works fine in a command prompt shell (ie CMD). I also tried to implement a "lock file" to prevent simultaneous updates. Neither work when executed within the Trigger facility.

Until recently I was able to override KeePass's default 10 or 12 second time to clear the clipboard. I had set it to 20 seconds. With Verison 1.43 it is now back to 10 seconds and I cannot find the setting to change it. Other posts said it was (at one time anyway) under Tools->Options, Security tab. It isn't there now (see picture), nor can I find it anywhere else. Has this setting been removed? Thanks,

I would also suggest considering using a cloud service to synchronise to rather than a local copy. That way you have an always available off-site backup of this very important file. Any cloud service would be suitable. The inherent strong encryption of the Keepass database makes this perfectly safe provided you have a reasonable length password. I synchronise my Keepass file between two local computers and a version of KeePass running on my Android phone. I have been using this process for many years....

Thanks! I'll add that step if I become dissatisfied with skipped syncs due to the Primary Master being down.

If this is helpful to anyone, I am uploading the trigger script I created. This will synchronize with a primary master database on a Windows "share" when the "local master" database is opened on a client PC. In other words, when a PC on the network is started up, it will sync with the server. The server hosting the primary share must be ping-able and the database file must exist. If the primary share is not accessible (i.e. system is asleep at that time), synchronization won't occur. You can try...

A sync is a save and to avoid loops you first need to disable the trigger. Step 11 in the example you linked. cheers, Paul

Thank you for explaining that. I avoided that solution because there is no guarantee that the master copy will be available 100% of the time. My computers are all on a home network, configured to sleep when idle.

I would start by asking why you need to do this. If you are updating a keypass database stored on two different computers then the recommended method is to synchronise each of the databases to a single master copy using triggers. This method is documented on the KeePass website as has worked reliably for many years. If there is a situation where the same keepass item has been updated on both copies then the most recent version will take precedence but the other will be retained in the history. How...

I wonder if the Synchronize with File function can report differences before performing the operation, with a Cancel / Proceed button. Alternatively, a separate Comparison function would suffice. Please let me know if there is already a way do to this. If not, please consider this as an enhancement request. To compare 2 databases, I currently sort and export them to readable files and compare offline. This takes a lot of time, and introduces a security issue if I neglect to wipe the files after the...

KeePass 2 does not have a bug. V2 allows you to set master key (password) expiry. Open your database and change the password to something simple. Select File > Database Settings, Advanced tab. Turn off the password expiry options. Change the password again. Use your original password. Save the database. cheers, Paul

Forgive my English: I only speak Italian, I use an online translator to communicate. So do I have to change my password again? Should I put "1" as the new password? KeePass 1 never forced me to change my master password. I was forced to switch to KeePass 2 because I had to unify two databases: the KeePass 1 database and the KeePass 2 database. Could it be that KeePass 2 has a bug? It doesn't seem normal to me that in a few days it forces me to change my master password. Honestly, a master password...

The options on the 'Advanced' tab page exclude certain characters; these cannot be derived from a password. If you want KeePass to remember these options, use a profile, like Paul suggested. Best regards, Dominik

The force master password change is a database setting so it cannot be overridden. Change the password to "1", reset the values in Bruce's screenshot, then change the password back to the one you want. KeePass does not restrict password reuse. cheers, Paul

How are you prevented from taking a screenshot? I have not seen that option. A key file is (part of) the master key. You can use any combination of password, key file or Windows User account. The message is telling you the database cannot be decrypted with the key file you are using. Try another key file. cheers, Paul

KeePass prevents me from taking a screenshot but the message reads as follows L:\KeePass 2.kdbx Failed to load specified file! The master key is invalid! Make sure the master key is correct and try again. The point about this database is that I never set up a master key, I always opened it with a key file. Perhaps version 2.58 thinks the (non-existant) master key is missing?

That sounds like going to the generator and setting options / choosing a profile. cheers, Paul

I need to access an old database that was last accessed in 2021 since when I have changed laptop. I can't remember which version of KeePass I was using at the time but KeePass 2.5.8 doesn't recognise the pwsafe.kee file for the database, and doesn't recognise the database itself as an importable file. I would appreciate any suggestions for alternative ways of accessing the database. Thanks

Well, both answers are correct, because it depends :-) In the case of global plugin options, you'd indeed need to ask the plugin author, whereas in the case of password generator settings (accessible via the button to the right of the custom algorithm selection combobox in the password generator dialog), you need to create a profile for saving them.

I would expect the plug-in to remember the settings, not KeePass. Plug-ins can access the KeePass configuration file to store their data. Have you asked on the plug-in site? e.g. https://github.com/ligos/readablepassphrasegenerator/issues cheers, Paul

As far as I see, WScript.exe does not support passing code via command line arguments. You'd need to put your code into a script file and then specify the path to the script file as argument in the trigger action. Best regards, Dominik

I've tested this, but cannot reproduce the issue. When clicking the toolbar button with the mouse, the previously focused control is focused again after the synchronization. When activating the toolbar button with the keyboard, the quick search box is focused after the synchronization. In both cases, the quick search box then works normally (with and without locking/unlocking). There probably is some setting, plugin or specific environment required for this issue to occur. Best regards, Dominik

Works great! Thank you for your support! Finally and just to know a little bit more, may I ask if it is possible to use vbscript instead of powershell? I've tried with WScript.exe as the File and WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys "^+t" as the arguments but it isn't working. Maybe I'm not understanding how keepass works with this action or vbs aren't allowed? Regards, Víctor

Use a trigger action 'Execute command line / URL' with the following parameters: File/URL: PowerShell.exe Arguments: -Command [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.Windows.Forms'); [System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait('^+t') Window style: Hidden. Best regards, Dominik

Ok, I didn´t knew about that classification. Is there anyway of having a button to emulate that shortcut or having the command 'Show Time-Based OTP' more accessible? Thanks again for your help! Regards, Victor

The {TIMEOTP} placeholder is classified as active (it changes over time, etc.), thus it is not replaced by the trigger action that shows a message box. If you want to see a time-based OTP in a message box, you could use the command 'Other Data' → 'Show Time-Based OTP' (keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T). Best regards, Dominik
-
Hi there, I'm using custom buttons in the KeePass Windows version (v2.x) to show a message with the OTP number and, If clicked 'ok', autofill the OTP. The autofill works great, but the number isn't print to the message, it shows the '{TIMEOTP}' instead of the number. Any ideas of why is this happening? Thank you!

I have added a toolbar button to perform a sync. Event: Application started and ready. Turn trigger off after running once. After performing the sync the Toolbar button remains highlighted. The next time KeePass is unlocked the focus returns to the Quick Search field. Type the search pattern and it appears in the QF box. Press Enter and the Toolbar button is selected and the sync runs, instead of performing the search. Removing focus from a button once pressed would probably fix the issue. cheers,...

You've probably never thought that there are people with some kind of physical disability, (It's not my case), who can't use a shortcut, especially CTRL+K, where the keys are far apart. One more click takes longer. Everything that is technology (in fact, anything) is always improving, becoming easier to access, etc. and not getting worse!

Why are you so worked up about a change that either takes the same number or one more click? The world has not ended, the sun still rises.... cheers, Paul

No, that's not it. The truth is that there has always been an option in the menu to duplicate entries and simply overnight the developers woke up with a brilliant idea to remove a widely used option, giving a lame excuse that it was an "improvement". It's a shame that developers don't hear users!

There is no wrong or right here, just personal preference. No need for a rant over that. cheers, Paul

Hello I respect your opinion, but I and many other users disagree with this change. It was a completely senseless change. Creating an option to have more options (OK), but not removing the option to duplicate settings. You gave an option to install a plugin, but seriously?
