Hi all, The other day a friend of mine pointed me to keepassxc. I installed it and it immediately worked like a charm. It's very well documented, and also available on Windows and MacOS (cf. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/keepassxc). One small configuration advice: in Settings -> Auto-Type the option 'Always ask before performing Auto-Type' is active by default. Deactivate it to allow keepassxc to directly perform auto-typing in configured windows. Anotther related advantage of dropping keepassx...

Hi Paul, Thanks again for your support! keepass2 --auto-type executes /usr/bin/keepass2 --auto-type which in turn executes exec /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe --auto-type And yes, I'm also using the browser to store passwords, but those are the ones used when browsing, and after entering the browser's password UN/PWs required for websites are automatically entered. But I also use command/password specifications in several other windows (comparable to the 'rxvt' example that I used in...

Correct me if I'm doing something not right, but here's what I did: First, I started keepass2, which executes KeePass: exec /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe "$@" I logged in, opened keepass's File menu, selected 'File -> Lock Workspace'. So far, so good. Then I executed keepass2 --auto-type. The KeePass master key dialog popped up, I provided the required password, and the keepass.dbx - KeePass screen showed its entries again. Then I opened the browser to post this message. The browser...

Interesting, and thanks again for your continuing support. Here's what I did: /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe this starts KeePass.exe, showing its login window. Leaving that window as-is I executed /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe --auto-type that command showed no output and does not result in a 2nd keepass process. Then, logging in at the keepass login window opens keepass.kdbx, but no auto type results when typing ctrl-alt-a. In case you mean by 'try with ...' to merely start keepass2 using /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe...

Hi Paul, Fast! :-) However, I did try mono /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe --auto-type before but (see my earlier postings) when starting mono with the keepass argument and --ato-type option I always receive a reply like Cannot open assembly '<1st argument passed to mono>': File does not contain a valid CIL image. Mono's man-page does state that its file argument typically has a .exe extension, so wrt that we're fine, but the error message itself doesn't really help me. In any case the command doesn't...

Hi Paul, First of all: I really value the support you're offering. With a bit of luck I'll get Keepass.exe working. The confusing part --at least for me-- is that the previous keepass version ran flawlessly while somehow keepass2 doesn't properly seem to auto-type (yet).... The advice to run KeePass and unlock the data base, then lock it etc. is a new one, but OK: I did that: KeePass.exe runs, and I locked the database via the File->Lock Workspace menu entry. It clears the keepass database showing...

Wow, Paul! That at least clarified something (although it doesn't properly work (yet)). It turns out that keepass2 is a script doing exec /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe "$@" so, yes, the executable, even on Linux systems, is named ...exe. OK, now that that's clarified, here's what I did next: mono /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe ~/etc/keepass.kdbx --auto-type but that doesn't start KeePass.exe (i.e. it immediately stops, without an error message) Next I issued mono /usr/lib/keepass2/KeePass.exe...

Hi Paul, Thx for your posting. And NO no keepass.exe as Linux doesn't use the .exe extension. In Debian Linux's trixie distribution the keepass program is available from the keepass2 package, installing /usr/bin/keepass2. There is no /usr/bin/keepass2 directory: $ ls /usr/bin/keepass* shows: /usr/bin/keepass2 and just to be sure I reissued mono /usr/bin/keepass2 --auto-type resulting in Cannot open assembly '/usr/bin/keepass2': File does not contain a valid CIL image. end ending 'mono' Puzzling....
