Hi there,

I'm currently building a package KeePass for some of my users (~100), and of course I need to customize the configuration.
For the moment, I have found all settings in the "KeePass.config.xml"

But, I need to force the changing password master key every x days. I can't find this settings.
Is there a way to set this setting upon installation process ?

Thank you !

This setting is per database (File > Database Settings > Advanced) and cannot be controlled globally.

The change master password setting is a database setting. It is not found in the KeePass.config.xml file. Open the database, select Database Settings...>Advanced(tab)>Master key(section).

You can also set minimum length and quality of the Master Password. This requires editing the KeePass.config.xml file directly.

Ok very clear. Thanks

It's pity for me ;)

If a password is sufficiently strong and secret an expiration policy may not be necessary. There is some discussion of this in the policy section of the Wikipedia Password Strength article.
