Sometimes when having KeePass open while typing into the Discord text field, KeePass inputs the password of the selected entry in the background in the KeePass window and sends it automaticly into the public chat.

This is highly insecure. I only experienced this 2 times already on Windows 10, not on Arch.

    Never mind, looks like it has to do with the Global auto type. Can be closed.

    KeePass only enters credentials when you tell it to, unless you are using a plug-in such as ChromeiPass.

    cheers, Paul

    You can change the auto-type hot keys in the options, if you accidentally press them frequently. Alternatively, make sure that no entry matches for the problematic window, or enforce the auto-type entry selection dialog to be displayed (e.g. by creating a matching dummy entry or by turning on the option 'Always show global auto-type entry selection dialog').

    Best regards,
    Dominik
