    Premise: I use Keepass on the Windows PC and in addition to the password I insert a drivepen where the file for the additional key file is stored.

    I bought a Chromebook and installed Keepass2android. Everything works but the file opens even after I extract the drivepen! The keyfile remains stored somewhere (I don't know where ...).
    For safety, I would like the database to open ONLY IF the drivepen is present in the USB port.
    How can I do?

    When you open the database verify that the path to the key file displayed on the Enter Master Key dialog points to the drivepen. If the database opens when the drivepen is not present, then the key file is located somewhere other than the drivepen, or your Master Key does not include a key file .

    Removing a key file won't close an already open database.

      Please create a new topic to discuss a new topic or to ask additional question about KeePass.

      See KeePass features for a description of the features. See KeePass edition comparison for a comparison of the two KeePass editions (1.x v 2.x). KeePass 1.x and 2.x are both free and supported, but not compatible with each other.

    ... uhmm ... How can I delete the org.chromium.arc.volumeprovider / [my_key_file_name _]. txt] file?
    I have nowhere found a way to delete it and it always remains present!
    Apart from everything, it is not possible to capture the screen of Keepass2android (key control + shift + keyScreen): a black rectangle always appears! I had to take the photograph ....

    I suggest you ask this on the KeePass2Android site.
