This may not be possible but I'm going to ask anyway...... I store my KeePass database on OneDrive so I can access it when needed from my desktop PC, my laptop, from my Android phone and Android tablet but I only update the database from while logged in from my desktop PC. Through the suggestions of others on this forum I was able to launch KeePass on my PC and once the Master Password is entered KeePass is minimized to the system tray upon startup. It all works well when I start my PC but my wife...
There isn't any password manager which does peer-to-peer synchronization. They all depend on some external storage service.
We're probably talking about two different things. I'm talking about synchronizing between two different devices (which never have access to the same local file set). KeePass having access to local files isn't relevant to my issue. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me KeePass doesn't support peer-to-peer synchronization. It is always dependent on a server, some 3rd party that provides the transfer of data which KeePass accesses, whether that be a 3rd party cloud service, a 3rd party FTP server,...

Somehow the Keypass screen color has changed and very inconvenient. How can I restore the original color combination? I'm using Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Please post a screenshot that shows the original problem (before you installed the plugin).
Your post is one step before my last message, ie I have done that and the more problems appeared.
You have downloaded the PLGX file. Now copy it to the KeePass "plugins" folder. cheers, Paul
My KeePass files are in Program Files, not Program Files (x86), if that would make any difference. When tried to open, two selections, Internet Explorer or Look for an App in MS Store are presented. I choose Internet Explorer>View and Track your downloads screen appears with 2 choices, Open or Save. The Open choice repeats the same View and Track screen and the Save choice makes another copy of the KeeTheme.plgx. I have never handled a .plgx file. Is it very different from .exe file? Anyway it goes...
Download this PLGX file. https://github.com/xatupal/KeeTheme/releases/latest/download/KeeTheme.plgx Copy the downloaded file to the Plugins folder under KeePass.exe. Assuming you have a standard installation, the folder will be C:\Program Files (x86)\KeePass Password Safe 2\Plugins cheers, Paul
This is too complicated for me! I’m not able to participate in the GitHub club. I’m not a programmer, but a simple user. The download site has 4 files. Which one should I download and how to open it, since there appears to be no .exe file? Regards, KN
KeePass uses the Windows colours. Try the KeeTheme plug-in to set other colours. cheers, Paul
Alternatively, add the password change date to the Notes. That's what I do. All changes of any kind go into notes with dates etc. New license keys etc.
Thank you so much ! Best regards Snoopy

Clear the recent list using File>Open Recent>Clear. It should not be necessary to edit the keepass.config.xml file.
Hello WellRead1 ! It seems to be OK ! Thank you. Must I remove all the old link references (DropBox) in KeePass.config.xml ? Thank you ! Snoopy
There is no backdoor in KeePass. You must have the correct password. cheers, Paul
Hello WellRead1 ! Thank you for your quick response and for those clarifications. I will try this and get back to you if necessary. Have a good day! Snoopy
Hello, I am working in an organisation which uses keepass. The manager changed and now we don't have access to the password anymore. The former manager says he doesn't have it anymore and we never got it. Is there any way to access the password by proving who is legally leading the organisation? Thank you!

If you want to use KPScript 2.47, make sure that KeePass.exe version 2.47 (official release, not a development snapshot or older version) is in the same folder. Best regards, Dominik
What is the reason @ dreichl @ pail459 @ T. Bug Reporter
What is cloud dependent about KeePass? Or KP2A? Both work with local databases and do not need cloud access. cheers, Paul

Please correct Lastpass import template asap
Nevermind, turns out the issue was caused by some bug in ResilioSync not syncing the files properly, so looks like that option isn't going to work out. It's not good security practice to have my database out in the cloud, so I think I'll ditch this software and find something less cloud dependent, and more user friendly.
KP2A uses the same sync mechanism as KeePass. There is no need to export or import anything. What makes you think you need additional steps? cheers, Paul
The repair function does not show any messages on purpose. It ignores all errors in an attempt to recover any data. If nothing shows up it's because nothing can be recovered. A backup is the only way to protect your data from loss. cheers, Paul
Keepass2Android supports two way sync (i.e. when you request Synchronize , it both imports changes, and exports changes to the file). However the KeePass windows application will only import information when you choose a "Synchronize", forcing me to then subsequently re-export to file before any changes on the windows app will sync out. Is there a plugin or something I'm missing that will enable two-way sync in KeePass, the same as exists with Keepass2Android?

Yes, finding changed entries is easy, but finding what about the entry was changed is not. I'd also like to have (maybe as a plugin?) a way to do a diff between the current state of an entry and its history records, and (because in some cases I duplicate a record rather than letting the history grow too large) between different entries.
Hi there, I have a "file header corrupt" database from some months ago that I need to open. I've tried importing the file to the database using the repair function of Keepass, but I don't know if I'm doing it correctly, or if it's unsuccessful since there's no dialogue box that appears after executing. Any help is appreciated
If is easier to use Find>Large Entries to find large entries.
In KeePass 2.47 use Find>Last Modified Entries. Earlier versions of KeePass may lack this feature or it may be located in a different menu.
I notice your database might be stored on a USB flash drive. USB flash drives are less reliable than other media. Make sure you keep regular backups on more reliable media. See the KeePass Backup wiki.
I admit up-front that a lot of this is a "me" and my health issue, but this might be useful for others, too. I'd like to have the ability to check what's changed before saving. On a couple of occasions, I've locked my system before saving, then came back the next morning and couldn't remember which entry it was that I'd changed the night before. I'm often a bit worried that I might have changed something I didn't want to change. It would be useful to have something like a "git diff" saying "Here's...
A KeePass update won't produce a large change in database file size. Try the following: Check that GZip data compression is selected in File>Database Settings...>Compression(tab). Attachements can produce dramatic increases in database file size. To look for large entries: Select the size column in View>Configure Columns...>More(section), Select View>Grouping in Entry Lise>OFF. Select Find>All. Sort the size column in descending order.

I've been using KEEPASS for several years and up to about Feb '21 the file size has grown from about 50KB to 75KB as I've added entries. Then suddenly, starting with a KEEPASS update probably in Feb '21, the file size is now 5,776KB. Is this large a jump in file size to be expected or is something funny going on? Please keep any answer simple as I'm not a computer person.
For a long time I used Kee, but in the Keefox transformation to Kee, in the current interface is a horror to change a password by the extension interface, in addition to the mere aesthetic question, I think more beautiful XC extension.
For Windows I found the Kee browser plugins together with KeePassRPC superior compared to the KeePassXC extensions. The XC extensions don't support logins for the Ing bank with multiple accounts in my case and also produce a lot of useless notifications.
Thank you Dominik
Keepassxc-browser extensions works with KeePass 2, If you have the KeeNatMsg installed.
All you can do is append the date manually. Adding non random data to the end of random data won't make the password less secure, as long as the random data is long enough. Alternatively, add the password change date to the Notes. cheers, Paul
And next time post in the KeePassXC forum
Dates - with other signs - are also random in passwords. I can see when i changed the password last time. Example password: KBx6-2020-PjqX9J-04-ja3-11-f4k It's random enough :) I know the history in Keepass, but it's not the same what I want.
Why would you want to add emoji's to notes though? Why not? As in "This @#$% site won't even let me copy its rules for passwords without transcribing them from a screenshot! 🤬☹️😠"
Could you point me to my error? Sorry, the error was mine.
Never mind, I had a desktop/browser extension mis-match.
I've just installed v2.47, and the browser extension in Edge and Firefox. However, the browser extension is complaining: Cannot connect to KeePassXC. Check that browser integration is enabled in KeePassXC settings. The current documentation does not match the 2.47 application. I can't find out how to enable the browser integration in the new version. Anyone got instructions for 2.47?

Still, an application should create a new file safely, with permissions given only to the current user. If the underlying filesystem does not support or fullfill it, it is "expected", like on FAT filesystems, but that is a different story. In general this will work correctly. The application should open the file and try make it accessible only by the currently running user. It will work on most operating systems and filesystems. https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=12214 It...

Thank you very much Paul, my question was stupid. I'm so sorry, I hadn't seen this great feature. Keepass is really a great tool! bravo to the designer (s) and a big thank you
KeePass keeps History when you edit an entry. V2 Edit the entry and click on the History tab. V1 Go to the Backup group and open the old entry from there. If you don't have a Backup group you will need to restore a recent backup. See the Backup Wiki for details of where to find the database. cheers, Paul

Passwords should be random, why would you want dates in your password? cheers, Paul
KeePass cannot guarantee where you will save / keep your files. If you use a USB stick formatted as exFAT, no permissions are available and KeePass could not set them. Rather that attempt to work out if permissions are available and set them based on the OS, KeePass creates a simple file. Reliably saving your data is much more important than hiding files. If you want to hide the files, do it manually. cheers, Paul
Use the method described here to generate a password on first use. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329221/thread/2fd90116/#59d6 cheers, Paul
Hello I use Keepass since many years. Thank you for this great Tool! But I use a external Password Generator instead the internal. The reason is, that I can't use a pattern with dates, e.g. {Y} for current year, {M} for current Month and {D} for current day. For this reason I use PW Gen from Gaijin. Is it possible to expand the internal PW Generator for this?
It's a way to organise your entries. Personal / business, secure / less secure, partners, etc. cheers, Paul
Correct, the master password is to only thing stopping access. A decent 20ish character password can only be brute forced, and that will take several centuries at the absolute minimum. As long as you are comfortable using a strong password you can put your database anywhere. cheers, Paul
Or press Ctrl Alt K to bring KeePass into focus. cheers, Paul
Thanks for the reply. This was exactly what I was looking for. On startup KeePass now starts, I enter my master password and it minimizes and hides itself in the system tray. If I need to do something in KeePass I can click UnTray and then hide it again when I'm finished. Thanks again.
The placeholder {NEWPASSWORD:/Test/} generates a new password and replaces the placeholder with that password when the user executes an auto-type.

keepass-2.47/work/KeePass.sln: error : Input string was not in a correct format.
Hi, thank you for your past answer, however, I still think Keepass should by default use umask 077 and offer an option to set a different umask on newly created files. I understand you think the enryption is strong enough but that still, creating a world-readable master key is bad. And making world-readable database is increasing the chances ... I jsut do not get why Keepass shoudl create files by default with open permissons.
Hello thanks for the answer. I guess i need a further hint. I added a password profile called: "Test" I enabled the templates and added in the template folder an entry with the name Test and the password: {NEWPASSWORD:/Test/} But newly created entries from this template have the password: {NEWPASSWORD:/Test/} instead of an password generated with that profile Could you point me to my error?
In the lower left corner of the Edit dialog there is a button called Tools. This button opens a menu that allows you to insert a field reference pointing to another entry.
thanks, not sure what pushbutton tools is?
