Invalid due to usage of outdated VeraCrypt 1.23. Prefix naming is fixed in VC 1.24. Original post: Hello there, the size prefixes in Volume Creation Wizard - Volume Size are misleading, because they don't follow the ISO standard from 2008 about byte prefixes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix) to better distinguish between binary and decimal prefixes.

Oh my gosh, now I know what my problem is: I always start Keepass directly from Favorites Bar in Ubuntu so I can't see any terminal messages by Keepass. If I execute cmd://bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" mono is executing these commands one after another and each running veracrypt instance checks itself for admin privileges and shows the graphical admin password prompt. If I try executing cmd://sudo bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" mono tries to open bash with admin privileges...

No problem, thank you for attempting to help me! :) Maybe Dominik could look into this problem to identify the module, that is responsible for this issue. A fix could be really helpful for people who are otherwise tempted to use the following insecure "solution" for convenience: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/178610/is-it-secure-to-mount-veracrypt-without-sudo-password-in-this-way Other solution could be of course to create an external script that additionally has the passwords stored...
-
And when you run it from KeePass it asks for multiple passwords? Yes cmd://bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" two admin password prompts cmd://bash -c sudo "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" not executing cmd://sudo bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" not executing cmd://bash -c "sudo veracrypt [...]; sudo veracrypt [...]" not executing Seems sudo is blacklisted from cmd parser.
-
The bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" line in a fresh terminal asks only once for admin password.

I don't know any perl, but with some googling I tried this: URL: cmd://perl /sudoscript.pl "veracrypt --mount [/path/to/container1] --password={REF:P@I:X} --fs-options=X-mount.mkdir=0700 [/path/to/mountpoint1]; veracrypt --mount [/path/to/container2] --password={REF:P@I:Y} --fs-options=X-mount.mkdir=0700 [/path/to/mountpoint2]" sudoscript.pl 1 2 3#!/usr/bin/env perl -w system($ARGV[0]); If I use this script from terminal, it prompts for only one admin password. From Keepass still two prompts. Edit:...

Thanks for your proposition. I visited their website but the plugin seems more like a GUI to the CLI of Veracrypt, that remembers its settings. I don't see, how this could help with mounting multiple containers without repeatedly typing in the admin password. Could mono or cmd-interpreter/parser of Keepass be a problem? That each command forcefully get its own tty? Btw.: I just saw I wrote double pompt from Veracrypt. Thats wrong. I wanted to write Keepass.

Hello, I would like to mount multiple veracrypt containers with KeePass URL cmd without or at least only one admin password prompt for all. If I chain up multiple commands in one URL (cmd://bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]"), I still have to type in my admin password for each container. cmd://sudo bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]" won't execute. cmd://sudo --user=root bash -c "veracrypt [...]; veracrypt [...]"): no luck either. One way to prevent password prompts at all would be...

Thank you very much! Your snapshot's working as intended. Best regards, Florian Schwarz

Great suggestion! The result looks that way: cmd://veracrypt --mount /media/florian/key_usb[newline] /backup-full.vc --password=XXX --pim=XXX --fs-options=X-mount.mkdir=0700 /media/Key_Animus There is a line break at the end of the output of findmnt. My terminal and $(...) are capable to handle this newline properly, but not {CMD:...}. So I fiddled around and found a running solution. I'm nesting the findmnt in an echo command that sucks up the newline: cmd://veracrypt --mount {CMD:!echo -n {CMD:?findmnt...

Oh yes, I overlooked that option because it's mentioning "EXE or COM" files before. Sadly your proposal is not working -> "incorrect command line specified" Some more attempts: cmd://veracrypt --mount {CMD:!findmnt -rn -S UUID=CEFEE32EFEE30E11 -o TARGET!M=C,WS=H!}/{S:fName} --password={PASSWORD} --pim={S:pim} --fs-options=X-mount.mkdir=0700 {S:mPoint} -> "incorrect command line specified" cmd://veracrypt --mount {CMD:!/bin/findmnt -rn -S UUID=CEFEE32EFEE30E11 -o TARGET!M=C,WS=H!}/{S:fName} --password={PASSWORD}...

The command is working right.

Hello, I'm trying to accomplish a nested command ($([another command])) in the URL field, but Keepass 2.38 don't want to execute it: "Incorrect command line specified" Working command without nesting: cmd://veracrypt --mount /media/florian/key_usb/{S:fName} --password={PASSWORD} --pim={S:pim} --fs-options=X-mount.mkdir=0700 {S:mPoint} Command with nesting: cmd://veracrypt --mount $(findmnt -rn -S UUID={S:by-uuid} -o TARGET)/{S:fName} --password={PASSWORD} --pim={S:pim} --fs-options=X-mount.mkdir=0700...

Thanks! It's working. :)

So is only "Mozilla Bookmarks HTML" working? Because "Customizable HTML File" is only creating an empty file. And in Bookmarks export I can see no passwords... Step-By-Step: 1) Right clicking the desired group -> "Export..." 2) Selecting "Customizable HTML File" 3) Choosing saving location via floppy icon 4) Clicking "OK" button "Export To HTML" window is opening with an empty preview, very similar to the Print window screenshotted above. 5) Clicking "Export" button An empty file (0 Bytes) is cr...

"Open Database" window - Keep wrong password in "Master Password" field
-
Thanks! The first part solved my first issue. :) And relating the second one, step by step what I meant: When I'm in the "Open Database" window and type in my password into the "Master Password" field, but type it in wrong, the window closes, Keepass shows an error message, and the "Open Database" window gets reopened, but with an empty "Master Password" field. I'd prefer, that my wrong password stays in there, so I can just fix the typo instead of retyping the long password all over again.
-
Hm, unchecking "Unhide Passwords", I disallow displaying passwords globally, as the description of this option hints. Not really what I'm searching. I want plain-text being default in the password field of "Open Database" window. To the second issue: I meant flushing the password field in "Open Database" window, not the password itself.

Is there a setting that Keepass 2 keeps asterisks in the "Open Database" window - Master Password field disabled? And in addition a setting that Keepass don't flush my wrongly inputed password? I didn't spotted any of this options, but these would be really nice features for people like me, who sometimes misspell their long passwords...

Thanks, latest snapshot worked with the actual password. Any ideas, when this will be in the official repos? Best regards, Florian

Thanks, I posted a new bug report in the mono project here. I hope, it's the right one. Best regards, Florian Schwarz

Keepass crashes when editing an entry notes field in a specific way

You mean frame the placeholder in apostrophes? Not working. I tested some configurations and here are the results: M: Mount successful E: Error message (s. above) W: Wrong password / password prompt *: Adjusted Password So sometimes Keepass is parsing {Password} right, sometimes not. In Ubuntu not at all. Best regards, Florian Edit: Maybe I should mention, that veracrypt help in Ubuntu is telling: -p, --password=PASSWORD Use specified password to mount/open a volume. An empty password can also be...

I just tested the URL with plain password input without placeholder on Windows and that also didn't worked. So the Windows version of Keepass appears to process escaping stuff automatically on URL execution. So this may be the right solution to the Linux/Ubuntu version too. Best regards, Florian

Hello, My system: Ubuntu 17.10 with Keepass2 2.36 (from official Ubuntu repositories). Problem: I'm trying to mount an encrypted container via the URL-CMD-function and veracrypt. I noticed so far some undocumented(?) password/char set restrictions: Quotations (" and ') and backslashes in passwords are making troubles. Quotations trigger an error (invalid data) and backslashes are handled as an escape order, so just disappear and making the password false. Workaround: Adjust the password and escape...

I would have thought, that one-man-(/less-men-)development would make spread FR between the lines even more complicated with thousands of topics in multiple areas. It's also making the whole development/support process less comprehensible for users. But if you want it that way. Sorry, next time I'll ask in the original topic first... So my "FR" in the help topic was already recorded by development? Because there wasn't really any dialogue about that. One of the reasons why I started this here in...

Print option - resolved variables
-
Thanks for the quick answer! But your proposal handles only the second of the three problems and that in a rather inconvenient way: Every time you use a reference, you have to remember to type the location of the original entry into the notes of the current entry and vice versa the location of the current entry into the notes of the original. Because it's completely static and so you have to update everything, if any entry moves to another location, or you’ll lose track of everything… And that huge...

Hello, I'm gladly using "variables" (references / placeholders / string fields) in KeePass v2.37 on Windows 10 v1511 for easier maintenance of my entries. But how can I print out my entries with resolved variables? I know I can print "string fields" and "UUID" too, nevertheless there are still some problems with this way: 1. god-awful to read 2. tedious seeking an UUID in hundreds of entries, to just get a user name 3. if you print just a group, it is possible that referenced values aren't part of...
