When opening a database and entering the wrong credentials like mistyping the master password KeePass opens a new dialog, plays an error sound and shows you a moderate amount of information.

I think this can be improved by simply showing the relevant error messages right in the open database dialog as needed. For example in the case of entering the wrong master password KeePass could show "The master password is invalid" in a red color right above its input field while still playing the error sound.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm currently not planning to implement this.

    • KeePass doesn't know which component (master password, key file, user account key, ...) of a master key is incorrect, i.e. it cannot show a more detailed error message.
    • A message box is the most standard way for showing an error.

    Best regards,
    Dominik
