first of all I wanted to say that I am really impressed with your work and highly appreciate it!
I was wondering though, whether there's really some sort of browser integration in the works (for IE and/or Mozilla) that can access the keepass-database and automatically fill websites' form-fields.

I find the way Passphrase Keeper (my previous proggy before I started using KeePass) handled it to be very effective.
Simply put, you had a shortcut key that you could hit (ctrl-alt-p, or user defined) to fill in a username/passy on a web page form (any form for that matter). Roughly this is how it worked:
1. Select the record (username/passy) u want to use.
2. Hit your shortcut key
3. The app would minimise, and automatically maximise/give focus to the window prior to when u opened the password app.
4. It would fill in the username (then I assume send a tab keypress, coz it wasn't fool-proof) and the password.
Very simple, yet quite effective. I like the fact that it's fairly intelligent in that it minimises itself then uses the previous window automatically...
If you want a demo of this, http://www.passphrasekeeper.com/ download a trial and have a look-see... it's definately something I am missing in KeePass.
Keep up the good work ..

Password Safe (http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/) has this feature as well. It can be dangerous if you're not real careful. :) Since it uses the last window, I have sent my password on IM messages, and also accidently did a search for one of my passwords in the IE Google bar.
It is quite handy though in most cases.

Before using KeyPass, I used Password Agent. It had an auto-filling feature, but the way it worked was a little different.
1. Select the account/record.
2. Go to your browser window (with or without minimizing the password program).
3. Place the cursor in the username field.
4. Hit your shortcut key.
Even though the browser window has the focus, the password program is still listening for that key combo. It automatically enters the username, tabs to the password field, and enters that as well. Since some website are different (might take two tabs to get to the password field) it's customizable. You can also have it hit enter when it's done to begin the login process.
This functionality is the one feature I really wish KeePass had.
Dominik, if you're considering implementing something like this, I might be able to help. I did some playing around with the Win32 calls that register an app to listen to keystrokes even if it does not have the focus.

I just became aware of KeyPass and it looks like it is a fine program. I currently use Password Agent and this auto-filling feature (Ctrl-Shift-A) is one feature that I consider a "must have". If KeyPass could add this functionality I would strongly consider switching over to KeyPass.
Regardless, a fine program nevertheless. Keep up the good work!
