It isn't necessary to cripple a product out of the box because a user might make an easily correctable mistake. With due Respect Your viewpoint is about 2 decades behind current software engineering standards. In modern cybersecurity, if a system allows a user to accidentally trigger a catastrophic error by default, that is a design failure, not a user failure. The standard is and has been for many years now "Secure by Default. Risky by opt-in". Nowadays, everyone expects actively maintained software...
You know what they say - different folks, different workflows.. Exactly. Workflows are different to everyone. And having a globally active hotkey on every single user by default to support specific workflows is the exact opposite of respecting different workflows. Would a single checkbox on install really destroy your whole workflow? I doubt it. Will it remove a security risk to everyone who doesnt use GAT? Yes for sure it would!! AT and GAT are one, or two, of the features that originally attracted...
I disagree on what is considered a key feature here. I havent heard about Global auto type and I used keepass for like 5 years now... The key feature of keepass in my eyes is being a password manager, ie a programm to enter and restore passowords from. everything else is while being super useful more of a quality of life improvement, especially global auto type since it is literally just a shortcut for alt tabbing to keepass, strg f the website, and strg v the result....

no, I do understand the feature now and it wont happen for me again. I dont need help for myself I just wanna point out the currently existing flaw.... But here you said something interesting Every KeePass user should understand how this basic KeePass functionality works before they start using global auto-type. Thats my main criticism! There never was a "before"!!! I never explicitly enabled that feature. I didnt even know that global auto-type existed!!! How should I understand a feature I dont...
no, I looked at the featurt, I understand the feature now and it wont happen for me again. Every KeePass user should understand how this basic KeePass functionality works before they start using global auto-type. Thats my main criticism! There never was a "before"!!! I never explicitly enabled that feature. I didnt even know that global auto-type existed!!! How should I understand a feature I dont know about. It should just be disabled on default!!
yeah I agree that being activated on default could already help lots... Just dont have the default be posting it directly without telling or reminding a user who isnt using this feature regularly
