The error suggest the file you are attempting to open is not a KeePass file. Check that you are opening the correct file. The only way to recover file that is not what you expect is to restore from backup. Do you have a copy somewhere? cheers, Paul
-
We don't need a ticket, all posts are read and suggestions considered. cheers, Paul
-
Because KeePass has no control over OneDrive, or any other sync software, we recommend you use a master local file system to manage your database. KeePass does not automatically pick up changes to a database if it already has the database open. You need to save the database for KeePass to detect changes. Post more details about how you set up your OD sync and KeePass so we can advise. cheers, Paul
-
Create a blank database with the same key/pass and test opening that. What is the exact error message? cheers, Paul
-
Key file read error? Where is the file stored and do you have a backup or three? cheers, Paul
-
Why is it an issue? Just press Ctrl Alt A/K again. cheers, Paul
-
The only way I can see to do it in KeePass is to have multiple Auto-Type sequences with a different field for each pickchar. Multiple AT sequences are added to the Auto-Type tab under "custom sequences". If you add a comment to the beginning of each sequence ({C:Comment}) it makes them easy to identify. cheers, Paul
-
I don't store my database on a cloud service because I want it to be available offline. The backup plug-ins are all simple and should work. Exactly what problems are you having? cheers, Paul
-
Copy the database manually to whatever location you want is simple. Save it in email is also an option. Create a new email message, attach the database and save the draft. Whatever you do, make sure you regularly make backup copies. cheers, Paul
-
Find > Large Entries. Click on the largest entry to be taken to it. Edit the entry and click the History tab. Delete old entries with large attachments. Save. Now you can keep old histories. cheers, Paul
-
You can't write a password changer for websites because they all differ in how they do it, and then they change the method without notice. Nothing to do with security. cheers, Paul
-
Clicking the "Convert to CSV" link takes you to a list of converters. You then decide which converter you want to use. KeePass already has many importers. What is the file you want to import. cheers, Paul
-
What is the exact error? If it's "HMAC mismatch" that suggests you are using the wrong password. A Linux VM may have a different keyboard. Try showing the password to be sure it's correct. cheers, Paul
-
How can you use the same password more than once unless you are entering it manually? Let KeePass create the password and you will never have two the same. You can check if there are duplicates. Find > Duplicate passwords. cheers, Paul
-
Auto-Type is still working for me on various machines. We need to know exactly what doesn't work and how you make it not work. cheers, Paul
-
With warning suggest there was an error. Did you read the logs? cheers, Paul
-
Admin rights helps prevent a malicious user injecting triggers into your configuration without your knowledge. There is no way around this. cheers, Paul
-
Don't use any of them so I can't say which will work for you. Don't use the ones with a green icon next to them, they are for KeePass 1. cheers, Paul
-
Up to the developer. cheers, Paul
-
Put either the DLL or PLGX for the plug-in there, not both. You can have a mix, but not for the same plug-in. cheers, Paul
-
I use the portableapps version No need to use that, KeePass is already portable. If you want to add a plug-in to KeePass, put it in the Plugins folder under KeePass.exe. If the PA version doesn't have that folder, stop using it and use KeePass proper. Download the ZIP package above and unpack it to your favorite location (USB stick, ...). KeePass runs without any additional installation and won't store any settings outside the application directory cheers, Paul
-
Then write yourself a regex that does what you want. Post it here and we will test it. cheers, Paul
-
You need a backup plug-in. They are listed in the top left corner of the Plug-ins page. cheers, Paul
-
Try this. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ function ShowLoginData() { var strUser = document.LoginForm.user.value; var str1 = document.LoginForm.num1.value; var str2 = document.LoginForm.num2.value; var str3 = document.LoginForm.num3.value; var strPwd = document.LoginForm.pwd.value; alert("The following data would have been submitted:\r\nUser name: " + strUser + "\r\nSelected: " + str1 + ":" + str2 + ":" + str3 + "\r\nPassword: " + strPwd); } // ]]> </script>...
-
Excel uses numbers to represent dates so sort / filter is simple. KeePass uses text to represent dates, e.g. 2024-05-31T07:13:33Z It is not possible to filter based on text. cheers, Paul
-
I tested it on my reasonably standard test copy and the secret field value was automatically hidden. Will do some more testing tomorrow. cheers, Paul
-
Only if they manage to get your user/pass as well. If they have you have more to worry about than one TOTP secret. cheers, Paul
-
Sorry, you are correct. I had forgotten where it was hiding. It's also hiding in the Help pages. I'd call it an oversight, not a bug. :) cheers, Paul
-
KeePass doesn't have a TOTP wizard so it's not surprising the field is not automatically hidden. How was the entry created? cheers, Paul
-
Drop this code in the page opened above and it will give you a nice user/select/pass page. cheers, Paul <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ function ShowLoginData() { var strUser = document.LoginForm.user.value; var strSelect = document.LoginForm.cars.value; var strPwd = document.LoginForm.pwd.value; alert("The following data would have been submitted:\r\nUser name: " + strUser + "\r\nSelected: " + strSelect + "\r\nPassword: " + strPwd); } // ]]> </script> <h1>The...
-
As it's a trigger, use these fields. File/URL: %comspec% Arguments: /k del "c:\tmp\badfile.txt" I use /k when testing and change it to /c when it works. cheers, Paul
-
I always use %comspec% as the command. This expands to the full path to the current command processor. cheers, Paul
-
Does this page help? Can you post a screenshot of the site you are using? (Save as PNG, attach) cheers, Paul

-
I think the best "fix" is to add an option in KeePass to disable fallback writing to the global config, as an adjunct to disabling save. cheers, Paul
-
You need to prevent KeePass writing the config file to the network (I'm assuming that's what the error says). The KeePass.config.xml file on the network should only contain one line: "PreferUserConfiguration true" If KeePass can't write to the local file it will attempt to write to the global one (on the network). I don't think you can change this behaviour, you can only disable saving. cheers, Paul
-
if the header is corrupt it's likely the whole file is unwell. What is the file size relative to the one that works? cheers, Paul
-
Or set Tools > Options > Advanced, Start and Exit, Start minimized and locked. The you enter the password when you need to use KeePass. cheers, Paul
-
This is the KeePass site and you are using KeePassXC so we can only provide limited suggestions. cheers, Paul
-
That is relatively simple. There are two ways, break the AT into 2 or use a plug-in. Break the AT into two Edit the entry.

Their support won't be able to help you fix an issue with your password manager. In KeePass you add the extra Tab to the auto-type sequence in the entry. Edit the entry and select the Auto-Type tab. Change the default Auto-Type to include the extra Tab(s). Note: if you are using KeePassXC the settings are slightly different. cheers, Paul
-
A database is a plain file. You can rename, copy, delete etc. Details on how to find your database are in the Backup Wiki on the KeePass help page. cheers, Paul
-
You haven't provided much detail for us to work with. What version of KeePass? Exact error message? Reinstalling won't affect your database, but it also won't fix anything. See the Backup Wiki on the KeePass help page for more on database files. cheers, Paul
-
Can't be done. You must know the password to access any password manager. There is no back door. cheers, Paul
-
FAT32 doesn't have the additional attributes NTFS supports, so you lose the MotW when you copy it across. cheers, Paul
-
If you can't export the data KeePass can't import it, unless you write a specific import routine that understands the aex format. cheers, Paul
-
Great idea. Are you going to write it? cheers, Paul
-
See this post for details. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/bugs/2413/ cheers, Paul
-
I suspect Windows doesn't trust apps on shares. This post (old) has a method to add a share as trusted. cheers, Paul
-
Windows / .NET seems to resist efforts to have multi monitor use behave. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/fa1d0349/ Sometimes it's the video driver. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/feature-requests/2256/ cheers, Paul

Well spotted, I omitted that from the instructions. cheers, Paul
-
Can you post a screenshot of the Properties box? (Save as PNG and attach) cheers, Paul
-
You must quote the path for Waterfox because of the space. You should also quote the URL to allow for odd characters, although this is not the issue here. Does Waterfox run if you paste only the executable command into the Windows run box (Win R)? Now add the URL. Now add the private window option. cheers, Paul
-
Right click on KeePass.exe. Select Properties. Is there a security message at the bottom saying the file came from another computer? If so, try unblocking it. What is the exact security message? cheers, Paul
-
This is not the KeePassXC site, this is for the original KeePass. Sometimes we can help with XC issues but the XC browser extension is not something we support. Go back to the GitHib site you linked and click on the "Issues" option. cheers, Paul
-
It should not be possible to have an entry and deleted item with the same UUID. Did they start life as duplicate entries and you deleted one? We have seen cases of duplicate UUIDs created by 3rd party apps. These should have been fixed automatically by KeePass, but it may not check deleted items. Apparent cause of duplicate UUIDs. cheers, Paul
-
All of the keys are shown when you edit the Auto-Type. No need to guess or type. cheers, Paul p.s. please don't open bugs for usability requests. Use the Open Discussion forum.
-
My translation of your Github page says KeePassHO is "highly acclaimed", but you don't link to any reviews. Is there a way to test your code on a non-Harmony device so we can see how it performs? cheers, Paul
-
Or just search for dula. No accents to worry about. cheers, Paul
-
On my Windows box, when the cursor changes to a vertical line with 2 horizontal arrows, drag right. cheers, Paul
-
That is an old version (4 years) and is not known to have any issues displaying columns. Check that you have not dragged the column width to near zero. If you want the latest KeePass, download the ZIP (portable) and copy the files over the top of the ones on your machine. There are a few Unix fixes since 2.47. (This won't fix the column display issue.) cheers, Paul
-
You can even use a single entry to hold the Brave path to save you having to find and type the path all the time and to allow you to change it easily. Create a new entry called "BraveCMD". Enter the brave path in the username field. e.g. C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe Edit the entry where you want to use Brave and click the Tools button at the bottom. Select Insert Field Reference > In Notes Field. Select the "BraveCMD" entry and the Identify source entry by "Title"...
-
There are more Auto-Type commands on the context menu if you select Tools > Options > Interface (1), Show additional auto-type menu commands. cheers, Paul
-
You are correct, that list is static. I prefer the right click option as it lists available browsers. cheers, Paul
-
Every time it loads probably. cheers, Paul
-
There is no KeePass2 for Linux. Exactly what version are you using? Have you set the columns to not show the username? cheers, Paul
-
The list is dynamic. KeePass reads the registry to find installed browsers. On my machine with Brave installed I get an option to open the URL with Brave (right click on the entry). cheers, Paul
-
Try KeePassEnhancedEntryView plug-in. This allows you to drag n drop, copy or Auto-Type additional fields. cheers, Paul
-
Sync is always manual (unless you use triggers) and if you have made a change you need to sync again. You can save and then sync or just sync, as sync is also a save. cheers, Paul
-
This is the KeePass help site. The Kee help site that you need is https://forum.kee.pm/ cheers, Paul
-
Which post is the solution? If it's the one that tells you to edit config.xml, you said above that it doesn't fix the problem. cheers, Paul
-
No. Can you post a link? cheers, Paul
-
Can you share it here? cheers, Paul
-
Please don't post the same thing twice. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/5ea750d82e/ cheers, Paul
-
That's kind of outside the remit of a password manager so it's unlikely to make it into KeePass itself. Maybe someone will write a plug-in. cheers, Paul
-
The recent file list is stored in two places in the config file. Under "MostRecentlyUsed" you will find the path info. Under"KeySources" you will find the credential info. I suspect you need to edit both, but try removing a MRU and see what happens. You need to close KeePass before editing it. KeePass Backup Wiki cheers, Paul
-
If you can explain what a windows login is and what you mean by revert we will be able to help. cheers, Paul
-
Random characters means none are guaranteed. This is correct. To guarantee a character use patterns. KeePass does not search as you type for performance reasons. cheers, Paul
-
Sorry, I have misled you slightly. Brave is available via the context menu (right click on an entry), but not via the Entry Properties, Override URL. Those values are hard coded, not collected from the registry. cheers, Paul
-
Check that the registry values are correct. reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Brave\shell\open\command I get: (Default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe" Are you using an old version of KeePass? cheers, Paul
-
That shows why it is not working, you have quotes and backslashes all over the place. Copy that console output and paste it into a Command Prompt. Change it manually until it works, then make the same changes in KeePass. cheers, Paul
-
I assume you have added that in the "Override all entry URLs"? Modify the handler so you can see what is being run. cmd://cmd /k echo "%BROWSER%" "%PROFILE%" "{URL}" cheers, Paul
-
Exactly how are you telling KeePass to use that URL handler? Your post suggests you have tried 2 methods. cheers, Paul
-
If you had read this thread you would already know it is one click further away and does not need a plug-in to use. cheers, Paul
-
You have effectively already asked this question. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329221/thread/9f9fcf0db0/?limit=25#1c02 cheers, Paul
-
Working for me on W10. I have Brave set as the default browser, but it still appears in the list of URL handlers in the context menu. Run this in a Command Prompt to see what browsers Windows thinks are installed. reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet I get the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Brave HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Firefox-308046B0AF4A39CB HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE...
-
May be some mono weirdness - there is plenty of that. cheers, Paul
-
Or right click, More Commands. This selects the entry to be used. cheers, Paul
-
There are two config files and the one you want will have a lot more info. Look in '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/KeePass' (which often is '~/.config/KeePass', where '~' is the user's home directory). cheers, Paul
-
You can use Xed (built-in) to view the file. cheers, Paul
-
Check the settings in the KeePass config file. Under <MainWindow> you should see <maximized>true</maximized>. cheers, Paul
-
Have you tried setting it to maximum, then closing KeePass? cheers, Paul
-
The random(ish) string on the end of the title is the problem. It changes every time you visit the site. Your Target window should be identity.bluecrossmn.com/u/login* cheers, Paul
-
I don't have "Tools->OTP Generator Settings..." in my KeePass. Are you using a plug-in? cheers, Paul
-
DPAPI is used for the database keys only. Memory encryption is used for passwords stored in KeePass and any other fields you choose. File attachments are not encrypted in memory. All data is encrypted before being saved in a file. cheers, Paul
-
See the KeePass Backup Wiki. cheers, Paul
-
If you are using the target window match to perform your AT, copy the sequence into the "override default sequence" box. In the copy - of course. cheers, Paul
-
Duplicate the entry so you can play. Bring up Notepad. Bring up KeePass. Right click on the duplicate of the entry and select "Perform Auto-Type". KeePass will drop to the background and type. To make it work in Notepad take the ^t out of the Auto-Type. cheers, Paul
