URL context menu lists an uninstalled Microsoft Edge
Ok, that's probably sufficient, thanks! I've now added a detection for an uninstalled Edge. If Edge has been uninstalled, it should now no longer appear in the 'URL(s)' menu. Here's the latest development snapshot for testing: https://keepass.info/filepool/KeePass_241018.zip Thanks and best regards, Dominik
I just got the update prompt, but when I go to download, I have the same issue as before. By using the fosshub.com link, I was able to download it, thankfully. Do you know any reason why I am unable to download via Google Chrome or Duck Duck Go? Thx RW
Enforcing a strong master key is only part of solution. Given a strong master key, a strong KDF (Argon2id) is better than weak KDF (AES-KDF).
Argon2D or Argon2id offer a higher security The master key is the ultimate defence against hackers. Having a weak master key and very high key derivation still makes the database relatively easy to brute force. I think you are better setting a minimum length and possibly quality than forcing use of a key derivation. cheers, Paul
You need to add a command line for the browser in the box on the right. e.g. cmd://{INTERNETEXPLORER} "{URL}" https://keepass.info/help/base/autourl.html#override cheers, Paul
My current position can be found here: https://keepass.info/help/base/accessibility.html Best regards, Dominik
Thomas, do you mind if I ask you now? I'm facing this very problem — constraining the KDF in managed configuration — but from developer's perspective. It would be very useful to know your expectations as an administrator. Do you need only to enforce specific KDF (e.g. Argon2id), or also its parameters? If the latter, does it have to be a range of allowed values (for users to customize), or just fixed values decided by you?
Thank you. KeePass an other password managers have been tested with the result that Argon2D or Argon2id offer a higher security in comparison to AES-KDF. But it's at least good to know that there is no option to set it globally. Thank you! :-)
What your asking is beyond what the non paid programming volunteering to do and isn't possible. This is a small volunteer doing this for benefit of those need password manager. For what they offer here I am more then happy as before it was paper/pen when storing my password that grew bigger and bigger as the internet got bigger and bigger-until I stumbled onto this software and storing all login in one place with "Master pswd" was a godsend.
Who decided to put Google Ads on the KeePass website?
Like is mentioned file a compliant with Google support it's their adware that is doing not Keepass.
The harder you make it the one to loose access is yourself not anyone else.
Keepass stores the password locally and anyone with access to the complete logins can change or delete the logins. This is a security risk of huge implications especially in a company. This software is best for local single user usage only.
Regarding the 3rd question: I wrote here to both of them a long time ago — no answer at all.
I set the flag but nothing still works (see screenshot). And I don't want to edit&add http to all the entries in my database! This is my vision: fewer symbols, attractiveness and informativeness.

It's not really feasible to launch a specific browser that is in that list because the list is dynamic. You are better of setting a global override in Tools > Options > Integration > URL Overrides. Use "Override all entry URLs". If you want to edit all the URLs to add a scheme where none exists, use Tools > Database Tools > XML Replace. https://keepass.info/help/v2/xml_replace.html cheers, Paul
When I click here with the mouse, everything opens (without http or www). This is where I want a hotkey.
Когда я клацаю мышкой сюда, то всё открывается (без http или www). Вот сюда и хочу горячую клавишу.
Installing 2.56 would help us work out why it's not working in 2.57. Using a temporary directory will not affect operation of your "installed" version - remember to close KeePass before testing. cheers, Paul
Ctrl U is the hot key for the default browser. What other hot key do you want? cheers, Paul
Why not make a hotkey for this at least? (see screenshot):
In my opinion, a keyboard shortcut that interprets the invalid data in some specific way would not be a good solution. Thus, I'm not planning to add this. My suggestion: store proper URLs. The text in this error message is provided by the system. So, if you want to see a different language here, you'd need to change the system language. You can send your suggestions to the maintainer of the translation. Contact details can either be found on https://keepass.info/translations.html or in the translation...
Does KeePass even have custom hotkeys? Or hotkey to open in the default browser? I didn't find it.

It doesn't work there without http or www either. In addition to all these are more actions.
Uh, I don't mind asking the author. But yeah I don't want to have to revert KP2 Ver 2.5.6 . I'm just going to back them up manually the KDBX Databases without synching. It's alright.

Ctrl U uses the default URL handler - same as Win R URL. Try copying the URL, pressing Win R, paste, Enter cheers, Paul
Can't help with 2 & 3 (I'm only the unpaid support staff). cheers, Paul
You can ask the plug-in author via the link I posted above. Alternatively, use the Onedrive folder in Windows instead of the plug-in. If you wouldn't mind doing some testing for us, revert to 2.56 and test the OD plug-in. (Use a new temporary directory for the 2.56 installation and add the config file per the instructions I posted yesterday.) cheers, Paul
Or make a hotkey CTRL+ALT+U to open in the default browser, since there is none (see screenshot):

If you are used to a manager that stores your data in the cloud it may not be obvious that a KeePass database is just an ordinary file. cheers, Paul
I mean when I know for sure that I have a link to a web page in my database (~99.9% of all). And the 2nd and 3rd questions, pls?

Maybe the plug-in forces an SSL version that doesn't work with the change in 2.57 to use all .NET supported SSL versions. Have you asked the plug-in developers? Have you tried straight Webdav without plug-ins? cheers, Paul
The issue has been solved. One of the developers working on the issue stated: "The problem was that window to sign into the database was nowhere and I could not find an “open database” option in KeePass, but did have an open file option. Then it clicked when I saw one of your screenshots for the 5th time, that it had the file link to the database in it. Opened as a file and brought me to where we need to sign in at once I navigated to the database file." Regards, Steve Johnson
How do you define a known URL content? HTTP looks the same as FTP and WEBDAV and HTTPS. cheers, Paul
Paul , I tried this and it still didn't work. Am I out of luck? Should I use an older software version? Help!
There is no option to set that. Why do you see the need to enforce a key derivation type? You can already set password minimums. https://keepass.info/help/base/keys.html#pwmin cheers, Paul
I have had KeePass running on a Windows Server 16 Standard VM for a few years. It is used mainly as an archive for FTP/SFTP passwords for batch jobs that run. We have never had any issues with it. I added two user accounts to the server. When they attempt to log into the KeePass application, the Login Panel is not presented. They are immediately presented with an empty Main Window. I have checked their group and file permissions, and they are identical to those of the other users who do not have...
I thought so, because of the file/link/etc. protocol. Then here are some more questions: 1. Can you make a fix for a future version and create a separate hotkey CTRL+ALT+U so that the http:// protocol is automatically added for a known URL content? 2. Why is the error window still in Russian, but my program localization is in Ukrainian? 3. How to participate in the translation ENG/RUS-UKR? I would like to make some semantic edits, for example, here it does not match (see screenshot):

"Invalid data format" due non-deterministic assembly version for KeePass.exe
I've now implemented what I described in my previous post. The revision component of the assembly version is now invariant (0 instead of an asterisk) and all affected code (PLGX cache item identifiers, 'KeePass.exe.config' check, etc.) has been adjusted accordingly. So, for building KeePass 2.58 or higher, you can simply copy the 'KeePass.exe.config' file from the 'Ext' folder to the output folder, i.e. you do not need to adjust the versions in that file anymore. If you want to check/test it, here's...
Hi Dominik, I saw there is 2.57.1 and I have tried it. The issue persists. I did the registry edit you sent on https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329221/thread/878c9beda5/ and the issue persists on 2.57.1 as well. I have created client key with DisabledByDefault = 0 and Enabled = 1 for TLS 1.2, 1.3 and SSL 2.0, 3.0. As this is hosted on a location where I also obtained a Let's Encrypt certificate and URL name, based on its certificate info on Firefox it appears to be using TLS 1.3, and...

Why does it give an error "Unable to find…" if I follow a link by CTRL+U without http/https/www (see screenshot)? All my links look like this (beautiful, short, informative) and everything works everywhere (Windows/Android), except KeePass. Can you fix it?

Reference custom fields
See the first paragraph in the 'KeePass 2.x Only' box on https://keepass.info/help/base/fieldrefs.html There already is a feature request for it: https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/feature-requests/1848/ Best regards, Dominik
Allow defining a "password policy" for entries
These features are provided by plugins. See e.g. https://keepass.info/plugins.html#rulebuilder https://keepass.info/plugins.html#pedcalc https://keepass.info/plugins.html#pwchrem Best regards, Dominik
Hello, is it possible to set the key derivation function in the enforced config file of KeePass? I want every user, installing KeePass in our company, to have a particular key derivation function as default. Many thanks in advance! Kind regards
Allow defining a "password policy" for entries
Personally I think any random password long enough fulfills any complexity requirements: Just think about 0 and 1: selecting 90 times one of both should be good enough. The only thing hard to guarantee is that the user actually chose a random password.
Reference custom fields
You could use the Windows User Account and a short password (PIN). See the Backup Wiki for details about backing up the WUA. cheers, Paul
I know this is an old request, but as WinHello is more and more integrated into the system and some admins dont allow to use plugins, it would be great if WinHello would be integrated into Keepass natively. Additionally the Plugins are not well maintained, eg. the KeepassWinHello has a bad bug inside the code in recent versions and does not get fixed.
This post suggests a fix. cheers, Paul
Paul, I downloaded the latest zip package and overwrote all settings and while now while I don't get the decoding message anymore the OneDrive Plugin will not sync to my OneDrive online. It says "Upload Failed." WHY?? I've erased the plugin and reinstalled it to no avail. Is this a separate third party issue? Idk if I can contact the manufacturer?
Uh Paul, the first one I tried, however my three KP2 DBX Files were open. Do they have to be all closed first? I'll try the second one, But if I do make another KP2DB portable, wouldn't the KP.config.xml be brand new never used?
I think you need to check if your databases are OK as that message suggests they are not. Although having all databases report that error suggests something else is at play. First, copy one of the databases to a temporary location on your hard disk (drive C). Now try to open it from KeePass using File > Open > Open File. Browse to the temporary location and the database. Do you still get that message? If not then something about the way you connect / open the databases is at issue. If you do, then...

But I already have the latest version of KP2 Portable. This won't do anything.
Download the latest portable ZIP package ('KeePass-2.57.1.zip'), extract it and copy all files over your existing portable version. Especially, also copy the 'KeePass.exe.config' file (this file configures the EXE; it does not contain your user settings, as these are stored in 'KeePass.config.xml', which will not be overwritten).

Got a popup announcing the release of 2.57.1, clicked on "Keepass website", then "download". Got some weird extension for my browser. Should I go here (https://keepass.info/download.html), and download Keepass 2.57.1, which looks like the entire program, and install it over 2.57?
Same for me on 2.57.1. Steps. On the main screen, click in the search box. Type a few searches to populate the dropdown. Click the dropdown to list the searches. Type a new search and press Enter. The result will be all entries shown and a blank search added to the dropdown. cheers, Paul
I assume you want to do this with Global Auto-Type (Ctrl Alt A). Open PSM ready for login. Unlock KeePass. Edit each entry that you use with TSO. Go to the Auto-Type tab. Click Add to add a target sequence. Choose the PSM window from the "target window" dropdown. You may want to edit the PSM window name to be less specific by using wildcards. Set the Auto-Type sequence to suit. Make all the entries "target window" filters the same. Then when you press the hot keys you will get a list of all TSO entries...

Upon starting, Keepass shows the last group where an entry has been modified, no matter what you click on before closing it. This is an (admittedly minor) privacy problem, since anyone looking over your shoulder can see the entry titles in whatever group was last modified, and also see your user name for those entries. I'm guessing most people are like me and title their password entries with the name of the site/account/etc. for convenience in looking it up later. Just knowing someone has an account...
