Autolock is not working when an entry edit window is
open. This is really a very big security hole. I'm sure
it will be corrected in the next releases. Great
program, thanks to the developer/s of the KeePass :-)

    This is not a security hole, this is intended.

    If the database would be closed while you're editing an
    entry, all your changes for that entry would be lost.

    Best regards

    I am not talking about "during edit". If you forget an
    entry edit windows open some time (let's say 1 min) and
    leave the computer unattended, autolock must operate as in
    the program "PINs". Otherwise, it will be a security risk.
    Kind regards

    You state:

    "When Windows is locked and a KeePass sub-dialog is opened, the KeePass workspace is not locked."

    in http://keepass.info/help/base/faq_tech.html#noautolock

    But a simple solution would be to add an option
    "Prompt for closing open Entries before closing"
    in Preferences

    Please reopen this Bug

      There is not need to state the obvious with an extra dialog, the open dialog funtions quite adequately as a prompt (at least after the first time).

    This has been discussed for years and KeePass has not changed this behaviour. I don't expect it will change.

    cheers, Paul
