T. Bug Reporter posted a comment on discussion Help
A "portable" version of KeePass will, by default, use and change the settings stored in an installed version, if one exists on the computer being used to run the portable version. To be truly portable, you must make a configuration change to the portable version to prevent this. This has been true for at least six years and probably since day one. and I still don't understand why it hasn't been changed.

File not found it does not prompt me to make a password Both of these make it sound like KeePass thinks you want to open an existing database, not create a new one. Are you sure you selected "New"?

I believe the OP knew about this, and was asking for an expansion of the feature to allow configured profiles to be activated and run with a single click on an icon in the toolbar (without needing to open the Find dialog).

monthly export as a json file When you export to any format other than KDB or KDBX, you are stripping away KeePass's protection. If anyone can get to that export file, or recover it after it gets "deleted"★, they would need nothing fancier than Notepad to read and use all the passwords in the export. ★ Nothing ever truly gets deleted on a computer - unless you take special action to destroy the data. The most secure way to back up your database is also the simplest: just copy the KDBX file to ......

(The post above from "lilly william" looks like an advertisement - or maybe worse. I didn't click the link within it to find out, and I strongly suggest you don't, either. Also, ignore the comments in there about hex editors, because there's very little about a KeePass database that would be fixable that way.) 99% of the time, errors like this are caused by incorrectly entered keys. You say you know the password, but maybe there's more to your key than a password. Try checking the "Key file" or "Windows...

Short answer: No. Maybe it'd be simpler for you to create a template database, delete the samples, and copy that template instead of creating new. Or use one of the "KeePass compatible" programs for creating new ones. (I can't believe I just said that.) EDIT: If you make a template, you may want to also delete the default groups that KeePass creates, because when they get created, each is assigned a random internal identifier, but copying a database also copies those identifiers instead generating...

i'd get this attached view (or similar?) Not exactly; what you get are clickable fields in the right (formerly bottom) pane for every field in the currently selected entry. A right-click on any of them will offer "Auto-Type {field name}" as an option; Ctrl-V when the field is highlighted here will do the same. (AFAIK, there is no plugin that will modify the list of "additional auto-type commands" directly.)

Variants of this complaint have been made before, so perhaps it needs saying: The list of suggestions for the User Name field comes entirely from the entries in your database. This means that anything that shows up in that list already exists in your database, somewhere - and the only ways to get rid of unwanted suggestions are to 1) remove the offending entry or entries from your database or 2) edit the offending data out of them.

Yes, that's what I went with for now, but he also plugs this laptop into an external monitor sometimes, and I was hoping to force KeePass to recenter itself based on the current screen(s) configuration with every restart.

I'm trying to reconfigure a friend's KeePass installation, because he likes KeePass to be "Always on Top", which means that when he's done with it for the moment, he tends to drag it mostly off screen or shrink it to miniscule - and also sometimes loses track of where it is. I was hoping to add an enforced config that would clear the location data on startup, but neither of these config snippets work: <MainWindow> <!-- Always reset main window location and size to default: --> <X /> <Y /> <Width...

It took me two whole years to notice, but your defaults for on-screen coloring are different than the defaults Dominik chose for printed coloring when he added those options to the main program back in May of 2022. I guess that just shows how good I am at not needing to make printed copies of my passwords ... Yeah ... that’s the ticket! 🙂

I don't think adding code to KeePass to treat "creating a subfolder inside the Recycle Bin folder" differently from "creating a subfolder inside any other folder" (i.e. refusing to perform that action) would be worth the effort.
-
I guess this proposal boils down to "Is the convenience of having a separate {T-FIND-RX} command great enough to justify its existence?" Obviously, the OP thinks it does, but it probably depends more on how easy it would be to implement.

I already [...] share [...] using DropBox Given this, chances are it's likely that you used the procedure detailed here. If so, probably all you have to do is tell Dropbox to share the Dropbox copy of your database with your husband's Dropbox. I suggest you read both of those links and come back here with specific questions. (I fully expect that there will be something there that you don't understand; we're here to help however we can.)

KPEEV isn't needed for copying passwords, as long as you have a password column in the main database view. It doesn't have to be very big (especially because it'll only be showing asterisks), just big enough to right-click on it... You may find this more convenient than opening the edit window just to copy (risking accidental changes to the record).

The most common way to do this is to keep a copy of your database on a cloud service such as Dropbox, and have each of the computers synchronize their local database with the cloud copy. This is described in more detail here. Please read that page and feel free to come back here and ask about anything you don't understand from there. P.S.: There is little to no risk in keeping your KeePass data on a cloud service, as long as you select a strong master key for it - and don't do something dumb like...

I do not know why it was decided [...] The best explanation for this (so far) is here, but let me give it a shot: Some users want to be able to unhide passwords occasionally, but also want to ensure that KeePass always (re)starts with them (re)hidden, regardless of how things were when they last shut down KeePass - in case they forget to (re)hide them. This dual setting set allows for that possibility.
-
Actually, allowing users without admin rights to edit password profiles was (last year) determined to be the less safe option, because then it lets the Bad Guys™ edit them to do Bad Things™, too - that's why the change was made.

We field a lot more complaints here that boil down to a person not knowing where their database file is stored (or worse, not knowing what a database file is, nor why they should care about where it gets stored) than complaints about shoulder surfers gaining access to a person's database file by reading its location from the screen.

No, you don't need premium to sync with a personal OneDrive account. But what do I know, I only created the app… I think the OP didn't realize that reconnecting a broken link to one's KDBX file without first removing the broken link would count as using multiple databases. (This is somewhat less than obvious, and an issue I've also run into in the past.)

I don't see Paul's reply as any of those things. He was trying to advise you that the actions you are attempting to take would do nothing to stop a determined hostile agent from getting to your passwords. You are trying to prevent actions that a true cracker already wouldn't bother taking, because there are easier things to try, and because most crackers don't want your passwords specifically; they just want somebody's passwords. If yours are too hard to get to (as they are when you're using KeePass...

This got me thinking about how I deal with updating - and what I perceive as the shortcomings to my current process. What if KeePass were to abandon the idea of showing an update window altogether, and instead leverage the notification facility built into Windows by hiding its notification behind the bell icon at the end of my taskbar, like lots of other programs do? With this, it wouldn't matter how often, how early, or how late the update check was done, because the notification would be made whenever...

It would be nice if the major browsers were handled similarly, but that brings up the question: How does a browser become "major"? Who decides this question?

readable for User XYZ and ABC, but not for DEF For this type of granularity, you need to have separate databases using the file system's permission features to control access. You can use the KeeAutoExec plugin to manage the multiple databases for your users; give each of them a "master" database that opens all the subsidiary databases on your server that the user needs and has permission to see. You may also want the GlobalSearch plugin to allow searching across these subsidiary databases.

I'm sorry, but since I wrote this, I've replaced the Windows default procedure for extracting .zip file contents with a third party program, and I haven't yet figured out how to restore the defaults, so I can't guide you thru this right now.

using HTML and CSS KeePass is not a browser, and doesn't interpret any HTML or CSS it encounters. (HTML attachments are rendered by a separate system.) The OP appears to want previews to appear when hovering over links in the KeePass window, which is rendered by custom code, not a web browser. In short, your "suggestion" is impossible to implement.

KeePass doesn't run on tablets (or phones). You must have one of the many KeePass-compatible programs on those; you need to figure out which one you're having trouble with, and find that program's support site.

True, but in theory, it would be relatively simple to create an "icon" that merely looks blank (all pixels 100% transparent) and attach that to the entries in question.

most generic malware doesn't "learn" or personally track you An important point that I thought was worth repeating. The Bad Guys™ usually don't want your password specifically; they just want somebody's password that they can then use to make mischief. A lot of people defend against the first type of attack exclusively, when it's the second that's far more common.

Also, there is a feature in KPScript that apparently allows access to KeePass features that aren't available from a command line, but using it requires knowledge of the KeePass internals that I suspect very few people have - possibly only the KeePass author. (I wasn't aware that this facility existed until now, and I've never seen anyone discuss using it here before now.)

The path to the KeePass file can be anything. It does not matter where it is stored. Important side note: This statement is not totally accurate. You should not attempt to store your .kdbx file(s) in the KeePass install folder, or anywhere under Program Files or Program Files (x86). Unless you're using the portable version, the KeePass folder should be reserved for program files only.

The linked ticket is half a year old. There are many open tickets that are a lot older, and Dominik rarely gives info about timeframes.
-
Hope this makes sense. Yes it does. That could probably be implemented as a plugin - which likely means Dominik (the KeePass author - the rest of us here are just interested bystanders) would be unlikely to add it as a feature within the program itself. Dominik seems to want to limit the main program to only those features that a majority of users would want; I guess it's his way of not overwhelming users with too many options - and also not overwhelming himself with work.

KeePass allows you to set any order you want for your entries. First, make sure that View | Sort By | No Sort is selected, then right-click on any entry you want to prioritize and select Rearrange | Move Entry to Top (or wherever you want it to be). You can also set custom color(s) for any entries you want to stand out - that's also in the right-click menu, under Edit Entry (Quick) | Color. EDIT: I just reread your post and realized that this still might not be exactly what you want - but the View...

I've actually added several "not a password" generators to KeePass (example below); KeePass is almost always running, so whenever I need a bit of randomness for any reason, it's easiest to just let KeePass do it. <Profile> <Name>CLSID</Name> <GeneratorType>Pattern</GeneratorType> <Length>38</Length> <CharSetRanges>U_D__m__B_</CharSetRanges> <Pattern>\{H{8}\-H{4}\-\4H{3}\-[\8\9\A\B]H{3}\-H{12}\}</Pattern> </Profile>

If you're using KeePass, why do you need Edge's password manager? Can't you just turn it off?
-
Yes, you can rename your KeePass database file(s), but most of the regulars here see it as being more trouble than it's worth. (I am perhaps the only regular contributor here that does not share this opinion.) There are also other things that could be made available to users to simplify or enhance obfuscation, but the KeePass author considers the whole topic to be unworthy of any effort on his part. (See also the "dead horse" thread.)

This "KeePass Pro" product appears to be in violation of the KeePass license terms, as stated at https://keepass.info/download.html - quote: "KeePass" is the password manager developed by Dominik Reichl. Any software by other developers that is using the name "KeePass" in the software's name without any direct non-numeric/non-special prefix/suffix is abusing the name "KeePass" and we do not recommend such software. For example, "KeePassDroid" is ok, but "KeePass Droid" is not.

I think the OP's point here is that the Search... field in the toolbar is not as useful as it could be for him (and probably many others) because the default (i.e. only) options for this search do not meet his needs. Yes, it is possible to open the full Find dialog and configure it the way you want, and/or save that configuration for later use - but only from this same dialog. Perhaps a Feature Request is in order here: I'm envisioning a sort of "magic profile name", that, when it exists, is used...

In reading the comments here, I think that one point that you may be misunderstanding is exactly what is meant by "your database". When we use that term, we're referring to one file - the one ending with .kdbx. KeePass.exe is not your database. The Plugins folder and the files in it are not part of your database. Your KeePass folder and all the files and subfolders within it - those are all components of the KeePass program, not the database. For example, if you wanted to use your KeePass database...
-
If you want to manually manage the History records, you can, but then you have to avoid the Synchronize feature, because the sync always assumes you want to hold on to all the data from both files. "Avoiding sync" means taking care that changes are always done first to a "master" copy of the database which is then copied (not sync'd) to wherever else you want to use the database. (That's how I do it, but you may find that you're not as obsessive about micro-managing your data as I am.)

The right-click menu is entirely determined by which program you're right-clicking on - some programs might not even offer a right-click menu. You may be looking for a browser extension such as KeeForm or Kee. Note that for Kee, you don't need to buy the Vault service advertised on their Web site to use Kee with KeePass - just scroll past that to "Kee browser extension" and "KeePass Password Safe 2 plugin".

The KeePass help file includes this info about T-REPLACE-RX: Usage example. Let the user name field contain the e-mail address myname@example.com and the URL field {T-REPLACE-RX:!{USERNAME}!.*@(.*)!https://$1!}. When running the URL field, KeePass opens https://example.com. This shows that the regex evaluator used for this does accept constructs that use the data found by the /Search/ expression to build the /Replace/ expression.

I believe I understand what you want: you want the Main Entry List to reconfigure itself based on which group you are currently viewing. This has been suggested several times before, but the KeePass author either doesn't see this as important enough to write the code for it himself, or sees it as too difficult to implement to justify the effort - and no one else has volunteered to implement the feature as a plugin, so if you can't find someone willing to program this feature into KeePass (or, more...
