KeePass Triggers (V2 only)

Overview

KeePass stores its configuration in an external file, not in the database. This allows KeePass to retain session settings independent of which database you use, or if you don't have a database open. The configuration file is stored in different locations depending on its use, or the user's requirements.

What Is Stored in the Configuration

Everything from window position to plug-in settings are stored in the configuration file. This ensures your plug-ins load correctly and any triggers you have created are loaded ready for use.

KeePass Configuration Data

KeePass data includes:
+ Which configuration file to use, you can have multiple
+ Recently used files
+ Working directories
+ Window position and settings
+ Hot keys
+ Triggers
+ Password generator profiles
+ Plug-in settings - some older plug-ins may have their own settings repository
