Auto-Synchronization with a network file
No need to post twice. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/122412476e/?limit=25#a248 cheers, Paul
I use KeePass2Android and is caches the database for times you describe. The sync in KP2A is a true sync. I also keep a copy on the internet that I can always access if I am really stuck - no password to access the database, just a strong master key. cheers, Paul
Auto-Synchronization with a network file
I have a NAS. My wife and me share the same database file on that NAS. However, when we are offline (away from home), the NAS is not available. We would still want to access the database. The android application is doing something nice. It uses the NAS copy when available and duplicates change on a local copy. When the NAS is available again, it automatically synchronizes both database. It is a true synchronization and not a database backup. Any ideas ? How to ask for this improvement ? Thanks in...
You are assuming that a malware is specialized for KeePass and has the rights to read and modify the process memory of KeePass. In this case, it's over; KeePass cannot defend itself in such a situation. Best regards, Dominik
Hi Dominik, your assumption regarding Secure Desktop was correct and your improvement works perfectly. Thanks for this fast solution. Peter

I know you feel strongly about not using the Edit Entry for 'everyday' use and therefore you are against putting Copy username, copy password, copy URL there, but I love and use your software for much more than just credential management. I am in the Edit Entry tool all of the time leaving notes about websites or applications that I have credentials for. As a Product Manager myself, I know the difficult balance between "We know best how to use the software to protect you against yourself" and "give...
Crash when open a specific entry
During the operations that you mentioned, KeePass doesn't use any DataGridView. So, the exception must be caused by one of the plugins that you have installed. Best regards, Dominik

Unify the dialog to open a database and its error dialog
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm currently not planning to implement this. KeePass doesn't know which component (master password, key file, user account key, ...) of a master key is incorrect, i.e. it cannot show a more detailed error message. A message box is the most standard way for showing an error. Best regards, Dominik
I cannot reproduce this issue (I've tested KeePass 2.61 with KeePassWinHello 3.3.1). However, if you have activated the option for entering the master key on a secure desktop, I could imagine that it's related to the fact that the workaround for a focus bug doesn't work anymore in KeePass 2.61. I've now enhanced the workaround, such that it works again. Here's the latest development snapshot for testing: https://keepass.info/filepool/KeePass_260307.zip Thanks and best regards, Dominik
Hello, I'm using the portable version of KeePass with the KeePassWinHello plugin. After updating KeePass from version 2.60 to 2.61 (I simply overwrote the files), the WinHello window behaves differently. It no longer opens in the foreground. I have to switch between open windows using Alt+Tab to bring it to the foreground. When I downgrade to KeePass 2.60 (also with overwritten files), it behaves normally. After starting KeePass, the WinHello window then opens in the foreground. So, the behavior...
Unify the dialog to open a database and its error dialog
Previously? What changed? Have you set Tools > Options > Security, General, Lock computer when the computer is about to be suspended? cheers, Paul
To change the font size of the master password in the KeePass Enter Master Key dialog, change the "Custom Password Font" size in Tools>Options…>Interface(2) [tab]>Fonts [section]
It looks like that would make everything in Windows larger, but I only would like the logon font for KeePass larger. My scale is already at 150% as recommended by Windows 11 on my laptop. Not a big deal the way it is, just one of those things that would be nice, but is not necessary. Thank you.
Thanks, and sorry for the post :-/

The master password field must be filled out by hand, due to security reasons. https://keepass.info/help/kb/faq.html#emsheet Best regards, Dominik
KeePass Version 2.61
hello, today i try to print the emergency sheet, but every time the password is empty on the printed sheet. can somebody else try to print the emergency sheet? thanks
Previously, sleep mode on the computer automatically prevented access to the application. Today, even though no changes have been made to the settings, the application can be continued when the computer is re-entered (exiting sleep mode).
How do I increase the font size for my logon password on Windows 11. On Linux Mint the font is automatically larger as well as the logon window.
Sorry, it was my mistake. The problem was a trigger loop caused by an old, accidentally copied KeePass.config.enforced.xml file. Best regards, CodeGnome
Great; thanks for testing it! :-)
Did it work with 2.60? Does it work if you sync with a local file? (Copy the database to a temporary directory and sync with the copy.) Do you have a trigger that does a save / backup? Disable it and test. cheers, Paul
You could ask on the KeePassium site. cheers, Paul
Hi Dominik, Thank you so much for this super-fast service! I tested everything and the error is now fixed. The backup files from KPSimpleBackup no longer have the .tmp extension. Creating backups with a custom extension also works perfectly. Thank you for KEEPASS! It's great! Best regards! ffhex
Thanks for reporting this issue! I've fixed it now. Here's the latest development snapshot for testing: https://keepass.info/filepool/KeePass_260305.zip Best regards, Dominik
Hello Keepass-Users, since Version 2.61 reports the Plugin "KPSimpleBackup" the following Error: Backup finished with warnings, check the logs for details! The Problem is: The Backup-File was stored as "MyDatabase_Timestamp.kdbx.tmp" and not as "MyDatabase_Timestamp.kdbx". See attachments: "Stored_Files.txt" and "Session-Log.txt". Thank you & Best regards! ffhex
When I try to synchronize ('File' → 'Synchronize' → 'Synchronize with URL'), KeePass gets stuck in an endless loop of "Saving database" and "Synchronizing... (https://webdav...)" in status bar displayed. The interface remains locked, and KeePass can only be closed via the Task Manager. The master database is being written (current modification date), but the target file on the WebDAV server is not. KeePass 2.61 (x64) Windows 10 pro, 22H2
I found the culprit It's the the KeeTheme plugin. Removing it and version 2.61 works.
After the update from 2.60 it shows are partiall screen and hangs. I have to kill it with the taskmanager Windows 11 Home Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7922)
03/04/2026 - I installed ios KeePassium and connected it to dropbox. KeePassium kept on auto closing itself and not able to unlock and connect folder. Did some research on web and followed all instructions discovered online, all did not work. Anyone, any thoughts? See screenshot below. connecting to dropbox failed on "Depressing database.....".
200M would take about 2.5 seconds to open on my machine so it's not too big, but it is overkill. The iterations are designed to slow down a brute force attack and you should always use them, but a strong password will more than compensate for fewer iterations because you have to perform the iterations for each password guess. Reduce the iterations (a 1 second delay is more than enough) and fix your problem without reducing security. cheers, Paul
I wouldn't call this a bug as a field reference that fails maybe worse than one that pulls data from an entry you deleted. Use the Reference Check plug-in to help manage the references. It adds a new item to the Find menu that shows all references. cheers, Paul
Sorry if this post is long but I want to be thorough as I am possibly documenting a novel issue 😊 My first step was to try keyfile backups. I was skeptical though for 2 reasons. If the keyfile was corrupted then opening the database should always fail, not just “sometimes”. Also I use the USB stick extensively on a daily basis, if there was a read access issue, I should have noticed it with other applications. Nonetheless I tried 3 keyfile backups, but it did not help. Next I tried database backups...

The funniest part of the bug is that usual search ignores the Recycled Bin records (and it's impossible to enable it), so pinpointing the issue was not simple. So when I search for title in DB it shows me just one record, but the Field Reference Place holders usually returns the data from a record from Recycle Bin. version is 2.60 (x64)
KeePass: 2.61 released
I see the same issue. Somehow the KeePass website manages to wreck Dark Reader's heuristics / dynamic dark mode styling and can't detect that the site already has a dark mode (and no light mode). Out of thousands of sites I've viewed with Dark Reader, that's certainly rare. The solution is a tiny bit of CSS. It's also rather unfortunate considering the situation with KeePass's lack of a built-in dark mode and the stonewalling around even acknowledging it. The docs are clearly wrong and any reasonable...
Heey, I’m looking at setting up a KeePass database for our team and wanted to see what others are doing in practice. I’ve seen a few comments online suggesting SharePoint might not be the best place to store the .kdbx file, mainly due to potential sync or overwrite issues if multiple people access it. Just wondering if anyone here has: Successfully used SharePoint to store the KeePass database Put any controls or processes in place to prevent accidental overwrites or corruption Run into any issues...
KeePass is a regular Windows application, not a UWP app, thus it follows the system theme This is NOT true. I use a dark mode on my PC, all apps are dark. KeePass is NOT. All the screen is dark, except the KeePass app. I feel discomfort while I am using it, even on low monitor brightness... So please remove the misleading info: "Note: KeePass supports all system themes (including dark ones) without a plugin.

I am not sure what is the mystery about KeePass and Dark mode. Even https://keepass.info is involved in this conspiracy: I use a "dark reader" add-on for Firefox, which is working great. I can't remember when any visited site was not processed well, and that was font color too dark on dark background. When I visit https://keepass.info - it looks like it is not working at all. SO I go to the Dark Reader settings to check if it is turned off by mistake. No - it's ON. And interestingly enough - if I...

Thanks Paul. Yes I'm aware of the History, but didn't even think to check the menus for reports like Find -> Last modified entries. D'oh! Thank you. That helps me narrow down what was changed so I can go review from there. I would love having a sync report of the actual fields changed but I realize that my use case is probably not common enough to warrant creating that if it doesn't already exist. I'll work with this and go from there. It's complicated. Several people share a database and it's user...

It looks like the folks at mono have pinpointed the issue: https://gitlab.winehq.org/mono/mono/-/issues/30 @dreichl / @pail459 : I'm wondering if you would consider replacing the foreach with a single xdotools call?
I must have done something wrong in my testing. Seems, although I thought having plugins deactivated, it was AdvancedAutoTypes fault as just now I updated it to bugfix and I don't see the problem anymore. And I missed telling my KeePass versions. In the request. I am such a user. Issue: https://github.com/Rookiestyle/AdvancedAutoType/issues/22 fixed with https://github.com/Rookiestyle/AdvancedAutoType/releases/tag/v2.3.1.
Thanks, Paul. Appreciate the help.
There is no way to know what will be changed, but it doesn't matter because all data is saved in the History so nothing is lost. To see what changed, select Find > Last Modified Entries. FWIW, I have never needed to find old data after a sync, only after an edit and once you fix that the sync will have the same data. cheers, Paul
You can export the database as CSV and then import it into Excel. Unfortunately this is only a subset of data so it may be missing important information. If you export as XML you can then convert it to CSV using the XML to CSV converter. Even better, give them a copy of the database and the password, then all data is in the original format. Use Shamir's Secret Sharing, using this implementation S4, to split the password into multiple segments and give them to family members. Copy the database to...
I apologize if this has been asked before, I have searched but missed finding. If there is existing info please let me know. What is the best way to review what will be added/updated by the synchonize command to merge a database into the open one, before it is done? Or after it is done? Sometimes there are things synchronized (from Keepass point of view it is correct) but may not be wanted. Mostly I try to keep notes about what that might be so I can fix manually after, but sometimes I have not and...
Forgot to add that I'm using KeePass 2. Thanks.
Apologies for not knowing this, but is there a way to save my KDBX DB file to Excel? I ask because I need to create files containing my DB contents in a non-encoded format to provide to family members as a backup in case I'm not around to access that information in KeePass. I hope this makes sense. Any guidance you can provide would be most appreciated. Thank you.
KeePass strength is its strong protection against hackers who steal your database file. It is designed to resist any attempt to breakthe password even with the world's most powerful computers. I have seen estmates of the time it might take to brute force break the password on previous forum posts but cannot recall the figures. I seem to remember that for a non trivial password it would take many centuries to break using the most powerful computers in the world.
Unfortunately no. But don't lose hope, the password may come to you once you relax. I suggest you write down each password you try so you don't get frustrated retrying the same password over and over. Also reveal each password attempt so that you can verify what you tried, and make sure not to add a whitespace at the beginning or end of each attempt.
I thought I had memorized the master password (to open Keepass database). Obviously I have a faulty memory! Is there any way to retrieve the database without the master password?
Tx this version has fixed the problem for me as well so all is now working as expected. Its going to be a very useful - tx again to updating it
