I’ve also donated to the project to help keep it going, and suggest others do also if they find KeePass useful (I’ve no affiliation with them except as a user). Setting Up KeePass on Windowsfter you have installed KeePass and activated your vault, we need to install a plugin. The plugin will help the desktop app to communicate with the extension we are going to install on Chrome or Firefox. Thus I can also use it to save software registration keys and other data. The name of the plugin is keepasshttp and can be downloaded from the GitHub page. This feature allows you to define a sequence of keypresses, which KeePass can automatically perform for you.

But significant drawbacks to that: (a.) the exercise is not trivial, (b.) I could not get it to work, (c.) certainly cannot install Mono on other users’ machines just to access my password list… )Īnd though there is no way to add fields to the list, it seems to work well for me to use existing fields - including the notes field which can contain any text data. KeePass features an 'Auto-Type' functionality. (I know, they mention creating a Mono Environment o use v2. This works quite well, I am able to store and carry the encrypted kdb data file on my flash drive and use the KeePass 1.21 on Windows machines and KeePassX 0.43 on Mac OSX.Īnd I do have a fallback copy on a web storage location, with an additional layer of password/encryption protection.Ĭan’t go to ver 2, as there is no simple way to make KeePass v2 work on OS X. Installation Firefox Quantum Windows Watch the Installation Video Video 2-step installation takes less than 45 seconds Add-on for KeePass Click button 1. I use KeePass v1.21 –not ver 2– as I need to have my password list accessible from both Windows and Mac OS X machines.
