Now I have keeppass where ever I need it, on any machine I have dropbox on, or even if out and about via can just grab the database from the dropbox web gui, etc. It is SO MUCH EASIER!!! Like I said I just run the portable version and put the whole thing in a dropbox. If you want to have multiple computers use the same file then you should just open the file directly from ftp I would think?Īs others have mentioned, not just me - use a different sync system to sync your keepass database file. Here is the thing - were are you going to use this file? Since your not opening it directly. If use saving trigger it gets stuck in loop, if use the saved trigger it errors with file being open I think. Originally published at on December 18, 2017.I can not get the ftp sync to work with save or saving trigger, but can get it to work with close trigger KeePass allows you to create various folders in its database. On Android I use KeePassDroid and on iOS I use KeePass Touch. There are simple script-like commands to tell KeePass when to tab, press Enter, etc. ColoredPassword Allows to use different colors for password characters. Breach/Leak Checkers Check entries against breach lists. Utilities AdvancedConnect Allows to specify applications for direct connections. KeePass will type the user name and password into the target window. DoubleClueKeePassPlugin Adds multi-factor authentication with DoubleClue. Just place your cursor in the user name field and press your key sequence. You can specify your own key sequence to invoke KeePass login. There is also a feature that will generate random passwords for you. Incidentally since KeePass is using the window name you can also use this feature for non-browser logins. You just choose the target window from a drop-down list. In “Tools” is a wizard that helps you build the Auto Type selection. This tells KeePass to use this user name and password when invoked on a URL that begins with “Xmarks - “. While KeePass isn’t as integrated as LastPass or Google’s Smart Lock, it does let you specify which URLs are related to a KeePass entry.įor example, the following is my entry for xmarks: While I haven’t dug into KeePass version 2 I understand that this cloud (in my case Dropbox) capability is built into the base product. Second it provides access to the database to my other PCs and laptops via Dropbox. First it backs up the database in case the USB drive is lost or damaged. A few more details on this BAT file are here. This BAT file copies the new database from the USB drive to the KeePass Dropbox folder on that PC or laptop. When I exit KeePass with changes to the database, I have an DB_Backup plug-in that makes a backup of the database and invokes a BAT file. When I intend to update the KeePass database I run it from the USB drive. The KeePass database is AES 256 encrypted. On each of my PCs and laptops I have a shortcut on my desktop that points to the Dropbox instance of KeePass and opens the database read-only.ĭon’t worry about the security of the database. I install on the USB drive and copy to the Dropbox folder. I also have it in a folder on my Dropbox including the active database. I have it on a USB drive that I keep on my keychain. There’s nothing that I have wanted to do that version 1 doesn’t do so I’m staying on that for now. Both versions are actively being maintained. I’ve been using it so long that I started on version 1. There actually are 2 versions of KeePass. Naked Security’s summary of KeePass was: KeePass is an open-source password manager that does all the things you’d expect a password manager to do at the very least - it stores all websites and service credentials in a highly-encrypted vault that can only be unlocked with one Master Password, which becomes the only password you need to remember. I’ve written about KeePass several times in the past but it’s been a while and I’ve made a couple of improvements.Ī recent article in Sophos’ Naked Security blog inspired me to update my use of KeePass.
