Also make sure you Master password protect it otherwise if someone finds your USB they will have access to your complete Keepass database. If you don't do this your asking for trouble. And make sure it's a Master password you can remember without forgetting it. They also have a portable USB version you can download and use as well.
-
How about Windows "Locking" your computer first this would prevent someone from using your computer to access your data. This should be the first thing you do when away from the computer to stop prying eyes.
-
So that sync features is going to a bug issue for the forseeable future?
-
When I try to copy the link for the file in Dropbox it doesn't recognize the file and saying it's corrupted or damaged? I entered the login and password to Dropbox and the direct file .dbx but it fails.
-
To Paul, I think this has gone to far and long and getting long in the tooth and others are posting stuff not related KeePass and should be archived for saving purpose only.
-
Also if you run malware software no amount of protection will work if you have keepass opened already. So one doesn't understand how malware works. If one doesn't understand how Master password work then no amount of telling one here does nothing at this point. And if you already installed malware without opened Keepass it's can't do anything without entering the password unless one is willing to do that for the malware. And opening known attachments is one reason malware likes users like you willing...
-
If your going to sites for malware infection then your already infected. The security is up to the user to use Master Password for the database to secure it. Child play comes when users fail to properly secure their Keepass with Master password or their Windows Login password to prevent unauthorized access or installs from malware. So this isn't just a Keepass issue. And you keep harping malware but fail to say what or which your talking about gives no one help here or update the Developers what...
-
@T.Bug Reporter, unfortunately that isn't up to Keepass to tell users what they do to secure their database. If they aren't already doing this then any statement matter little.
-
Keepass can't control what happens on LastPass nor can the site here address it. Many whom use Keepass already know that keeping all your Login online is asking for trouble since LastPass gives no security for the logins. They are a GOLDMINE for hackers/crackers to get. The database if not Master Password protect does nothing to protect the logins. So if you don't Master Password protect database encryption does nothing and also if you don't Windows password login protect that also open you computer...
-
I think those using Keepass should know why they are using it already and if they aren't using Master Password to lock the database then one is asking for trouble. It's not up to Keepass to police users behaviour if they don't protect their own database.
-
I use that version and if you update to DropBox and reopen keypassandroid it will update to the phone sync as well unless they deleted from Dropbox then it won't update.
-
That should be directed to the plugin developer not keepass as it's locally stored database.
-
From all my current reading if the attacker has access to your system already it's already to late for any security actions. All they need to do is copy your keepass database which has no Master password login and that is all they need to break your security logins saved in the keepass database. And once they got that it's all ready to late they don't need to do any sophisticated xml once they have your UNsecured database for them to freely gain your login site access.
-
Then you need to have everyone have their own database if your concerned about that kinda security.
-
Why are you letting others use the same database and now your asking how to protect it? Just Master login protection and that prevents anyone from opening the Database. Is there a reason why you aren't doing this instead.
-
@aozaozaoz, encrypting with boxcrytpor is asking for problem the master password should be enough to block on one drive. You should use a USB to store the backup database instead. Online is why hacker want you to store your keepass database to steal. As long as your keepass master password is sufficient to block unwanted access but only you then using one drive is only good if you have internet connections.
-
Those are you options to choose to do. Keepass has autofill but sites if they separate login and password you can't use it just like before. Take Twitter it separates login and password for security purpse and some sites has captcha to block botnet logins. So this isn't something keepass config can change or bypass. You need to post the URL's so the developers can identify and help with but not doing so no one will know how to fix or what is happening.
-
I have no issue with Edge and Keepass in autofill and auto login. Some sites separate the Login and Password for security protection from AutoBotnets. So without knowing what site your referencing to most sites are going this route. If you want autologin you need to set that feature on your Edge settings to AutoFill/Save so you can login to the same site without having to fill the entry again.
-
Interesting I'll have to give this a try. I know alot of online banking and retailers Amazon among them use this now for security protection. So will auto typing be in future releases?? I do know sites are going this route of not using the login and password on the same page or they break by having text link between the login to block autokeyloggers.
-
Is this running the keepass from the USB or just syncing to the database on the USB? If running then you will not be able to release the USB it will say there is a active software running. So double check your not running the Portable USB version from the USB. Otherwise you go Windows O/S issue that is blocking the release.
-
Might be late but why not use the portable version on the ext HDD and just use the desktop version to sync the data back and forth the keepass data only. That would save installing on the ext.
-
Next thing: Did you use the Gmail for registering your Twitter and Amazon accounts? Because, if the attacker gains access to your e-mail, passwords for other services can be reset using it. This is what people do and then expect not to be hacked because they click suspicious You WON a 1 Billion USD.
-
You don't need hardware just make sure the database is stored on the account user folder location not where anyone can access it. And then Master Password protect the database and if Windows make a Password protected login so only the owner can access and use keepass software database. This will stop sticky fingers and even if they copy database without the Master Password they can't access it. Just make sure the Master password is hard enough but you can remember without issues. Otherwise if you...
-
Remember this the harder you make it the harder the users themselves will be the one locked out not someone trying to get the password. Keypass database is locally stored or on USB assuming one makes a Master Password so no other has access to it. This is all that is required to block unauthorized access to the database even if one puts online if there is a password - crackers aren't going to waste time and time to break it when time is of money to them. This isn't unlike Online LastPass that got...
-
One should read what was said about this as well. https://sourceforge.net/p/keepass/discussion/329220/thread/f444a19398/
-
Also if your using the Admin/Owner account without password protection you already permitted any keylogger/malware to get your data. Any scans at this point is not going to work if malware/virus has gotten past any security software. In this situation would require a computer shop to find and remove the problem. I know how people tout 2FA but I've had bad experiences with 2FA locking out of account and no one could help. So unless you know your 2FA in-details and keys - I say don't use this only...
-
Keepass database shouldn't be used in group as you found out if others don't update to latest it will mess up the database for others users. And keepass isn't setup for multiple users and you will have this same issue again. Is there a reason why users can't keep their own database and manually update the password. What's happening here will be problematic going forward regardless.
-
This is going beyond having a pragmatic Master Password to protect the database that the user can remember without having to write down the password. The more complicated the password the quicker the user themselves will lock themselves out of the database. That's the simplistic of just having a good Master Password that the user can recall without issue to get to their logins.
-
That can't happen it will invite problem each users need to have their own database and password protected for their own access. We don't discuss other password managers and how they operate.
-
If you didn't use a "Master password" protection then you invited trouble and keepass wasn't the responsible party for this problem. Dropbox not compromised how did you even verify that since it stored your database? If you didn't Master Password protect it then it's too late now and you will have to go through all your login and change the passwords. Also my keepass pasword was strong and store on paper were nobody could find it. Right here is the biggest problem.
-
I like to update if you don't password lock the excel password file anyone accessing would break your Keepass password. So your already making it easier for someone to access KeePass here. Simple hard to guess password is all that is needed for Master password in KeePass. Password Generating is making a already complicated password more complicated here. Not everyone is familiar with Excel unless you use it on daily basis so this assumption is also not correct. If one is over creating password there...
-
Unfortunately as others said unless you wrote it down there no way to help here once you forget it. Did you use your smartphone if you have on to store that MasterPassword as a contact. Since you found it, you'll want to have multiple locations to save this just incase as well.
-

-
I just think the harder you make it the more chances you the user will forget it and this happens more then people will admit to. Also Keepass isn't stored online but locally and USB portable if you make a Master Password for the database.
-
I just think the harder you make it the more chances you the user will forget it and this happens more then people will admit to.
-
I think unless that is shared if others input their own login to the database others will see it. I think having a main and individual would be a more secure system.
-
Let's be clear here this is going far beyond just simple random password to protect the database only when first accessing it the harder you make it the higher and more likely you the user will lock yourself out. When this happens no one can help unless you had a previous database that didn't have a Master password. The reason such a program like this exist for the reason paper notes can be lost or logins are old and new one aren't written down leading to lockup logins. As anything I have multiple...
-
It doesn't do this unless the user does the command to lock or create password to lock. At this point if you don't have a backup of the database before this happen there's not much more anyone on here can help with this.

Chrome will ask you when it needs a update-what your saying isn't true unless you do your own "Help about Chrome" and this will check for update and update if need be. But you will get a icon notification from Chrome if it needs to update or update to be re-launched. Keepass only check for updates at start if you didn't disable this option and when there is one will ask you to update to the latest version. Most apps as your saying tells us basically nothing about how their software updates work or...

Your over doing the password protection. All you need to do is create a "Master" password to the keepass database so only the person using the database can enter it. The only one that will have trouble with something like that is you the mentioning this and will get yourself locked-out of keepass database login and only have one to blame for this. So the harder you make it the faster you will forget it.
-
I think you should use keepass itself when doing password instead of using another software to create the password that might be the issue here. Is there a reason why you don't use keepass password creator?
-

-
Attackers are only good as if they can copy your database since that isn't Online saved but locally saved. So if you don't make a password hard enough to guess without you yourself forgetting would be hard for them when they don't have access to your local database unless you let them copy it. Then one is asking for it here. Keepass saves the database locally or stored on USB but if you don't Master Password protect it no amount of backup will save you at the end of the day. This is my experience...
-
Never had that with any other apps or browser close when using those apps. Also check your keepass settings to see if something wasn't checked that causes it to close as well.
-
Considering this is not online password save server - eight character/symbol/numeric would be more then suffice to block attempts. The only one you need to worry is if you forget the password. Make sure you backup the database to multiple USB drivers as the y have a portable version for USB and that can be used to sync your database so you don't loose changes inbetween updates.

-
Little late to reply but always keep a up to date database on a USB drive - One drive only works if you have internet access. They have a portable version of KeePass as well.
-
Also the more complicated you make it the person to forget is the user themselves. Random words and numbers or symbols at least 8 or more will be sufficient to stop most attackers. And if your a small fish they will move on to better targets. And will send you malware email that will do more then them guessing your login-you would do the work for them. Password generators are only good as the person whom remembers them. 1. Make Master Password for the database and write down and save to secure locations...
-
If you have Windows O/S they do have reading accessibility options that can also help if the text is small or hard to read as well.
-
All they need is the Master Password set on the database and that is more then enough. What your suggesting is more complicated and will confuse more people. Doing that will make end of life matter more complicated for those trying the help out in those times. Also LastPass is unsafe and is online and what's the worst place to keep logins for thieves to hack and get those logins. LastPass was hacked and will again happen. They only got ratted out that is why the admit they GOT HACKED. So to think...
-
Make sure to make a USB Keepass portable and folder to store the database as backup incase of problem or you need another computer to access the database. But always and ALWAYS make a Master password for the database don't keep it unprotected anyone using the computer can copy it or open and use the logins. Password protected database no but the user can access it. I have two USB as backup and use at work and main at home and sync them daily to be sure nothing is missed. And if the computer crashes...
-
Little late, but I know I have keepass as portable and have no problem using it to open the URL in any Browser I use. What I do is insure the database has a Master password so you can lock it or close it and when you open it require the password to open the database to use.
-
Then one needs to create a Master Password to lock the database so only the user of it can access it. And copying the database doesn't allow one to enter unless they use the Master password to access the database.

What they don't tell you if hacker have to work to get the keys they will move on to easier targets. They have limited time and don't need to waste on small fries. That articles is only good as the user whom remembers their passwords. Your going to provide how this relates to KeePass for the rest of us other then just posting articles and that doesn't point to Keepass......
-
Just like mentioned tell or write it down to a trust person so they when it time they can access and take care of the accounts.
-
I would say first you should contact Bitwarden about what your asking as well. https://bitwarden.com/help/authenticator-keys/

I do recall I did this once changed my all my logins into asterisk and had to go online to fix it back.
-
Here's how I do mine. I have two USB plus main Desktop that I sync all my passwords back and forth with whenever one updates it updates for all. But for password doesn't have to be so complicated that even you forget it-just make sure it at least 8 characters long but not more then twelve going beyond that you will forget it. One my think they won't but never say never. As long as it's a combo word and number not related is more then enough to stop the most thieving to do that. And if there is more...

USB is no more reliable then when installed on your computer. That's myth the more you use your computer the shorter it's lifespan. I have it on two USB as portable programs and sync the database to the computer and 2 USB drives and have no issues doing that or access. As long as one uses the USB portable keepass program that can access the database. But what people don't do is Password protect it.

I would say beyond their free offering that is a big order here. What LastPass does it what they do since it's a paid program and this is free to use. That's my thoughts here.

"So the correct wording is: Run as Administrator, for those looking for a KeePass Admin role function. Hope this helps. Thanks" That is wrong as Paul stated never run in the account that is using KeePass sys files - I never had to use Admin to save or un the program. So as other eluded to not sure your setup but that not how it works or runs. I used this since 1.x til 2.x current and have no issues opening adding to or saving keepass database. Also never create or save to the Program file location...

-
So are you talking about inside the keepass program login when you try to edit a entry?
-
I think the way this software was designed/written it's all keyboard/mouse interaction. For it to go to something like accessibility that would require this become a paid program to use as going that route would require a team of programmers full time to revamp the way keepass currently is accessed. At that point that would put a end to keepass as we know of it.
-
Sounds like problems down the line. As for USB you have to manually sync between the two database if your want updates to be up to date for both. But using another system manager when keepass can already do it - will bring problems down the line.
-
I just have drop box installed on my computer and just replace the dropbox file and overwrite it. But make sure to create a Master password when storing it online. Should a hack happen to dropbox your database will still be secure even if that happens. That's how I do sync with my dropbox and computer.
-
AFAIK they should create each user database with their own unique database and not connect them to the Master database. As mention on here anyone copy the Master Database login and takes it home. So if they want their own login database of their own then they should create a database for their login.

Those are for the sites login password not the Master password. Let's say you create a Gmail account you have the Login and Password and below that the url to Gmail. That is what the other password field is for.

Clipboard isn't a keepass software so what happens on clipboard is a Windows O/S control. Is there a reason why you can't use keepass to input and save the login/pswd to better secure the logins.

Here's the problem I have. "the technician who put my HD in the new computer has deleted all my programs including KEEPASS." What did he/she do when you deleted all my programs? If they deleted Keepass folder and you have all of it in that folder then everything is gone. So unless you backup the keepass data onto a USB or drive not the same one he/she deleted the folders then you can fine the database but if its in the same deleted folder then everything is gone. And there not much more that can...

Windows O/S is different and not the same as KP. Let's not go down this rabbit hole shall we. If you password protect KP Admin or Standard user still need the master password to gain access and if your not doing this then your asking for trouble from Standard user seeing all the logins. If you don't want a standard user accessing Admin KP database they should have their own KP database for standard user created in their account.

Beyond the default fonts used that can't happen they are the same font or the other only. Something like a Word Doc would be the only other place you can have different fonts on the same page. But the KP database will more or less will be one or the other fonts.

We won't go down that line but unless he has Power of Attorney or Medical decision both signed that can be another issue. But that goes beyond KP here.
-
@Frank Roy, Are you a hacker or something trying to find or make backdoors or something. If one can't remember passwords they make they should think about why they can't remember it.
-
@Lisa Kelly, "My main password is not extremely long and easy to remember and easy to enter daily. However, I do have a keyfile as well, kept separate, which KP points to, that is needed to unlock/open the database." That's the smart way to protect the Master login. Not so long or so hard you yourself forgets it when entering. But further step is having 2 USB drives with the portable version and backup KP database just incase but keeping them synced so if the main computer fails you have backup of...

@Frank Roy, Bitlocker move the drive or computer fails and your lockout for life. I know I tested doing this and it's just as bad as getting Ransomware. This is for NSA, CIA, DHS, worse FSB beyond that it does no good but waster precious HDD or SDD processing and drive wear. If you want protection use a Ext USB Drive to store data and unplug when done and no-one has access to the data. Audit helps nothing when what's to be audit has no remedy or solution.
