    Hello,

    How much characters do you suggest to enter in the "random keyboard input" of the random password generator (entropy collection window)?
    Does it make sense to fill the whole window with random characters?
    Or are just a couple of lines enough?
    (I also do the "random mouse input", until it reaches the maximum in the bar below the graphic.)

    Thanks.

    KeePass is very good at collecting entropy, the keyboard / mouse input is only if you want to add a bit more and is not required.
    I just wave the mouse around until KeePass says OK.

    cheers, Paul
