    You can use the KPEnhancedEntryView plugin to select multiple entries and change the value of fields in the selected entries all at once.

    What is the purpose of the bulk change operation? While you can change multiple usernames and passwords in the password database, that doesn't change the username and password at a website, or in an application.

      Wellread1 thanks, I will try it...

      The purpose is, I manage all the Network and Server Components in KP. If I change the Admin Password I have to change the Password in all my Entries in the KP Datebase and I will do this once for all.

      The better way were are, I can create in KP a Master Entry with Username and Password and connect the Master Entry with the Child Entry. So I have to change only on Entry if the Password are renewed...

    KeePass has Field References for this reason.
    Create one master entry and change all the other entries passwords to reference the master.

    1. Backup your database, twice.
    2. Create the master entry.
    3. Edit one entry and select Tools > Insert Field Reference > In Password Field.
    4. Select the master entry and select Identify:UUID and Source:Password.

    Now that you have the field reference you can copy it and use XML Replace to edit all the other entries to match.

    Probable XML Replace settings
    Select nodes: //Entry/String[Key='Password']/Value
    Action: Replace data
    Data: Inner text
    Find what: old password
    Replace with: {REF:P@I:A2082E4A7F815445ADD88AA25ACB05F1}

    cheers, Paul
