Here are my tips and recommendations to get the most out of KeePassXC. The Basics: Use Auto-Fill to let KeePass insert your username and password. Install the browser extension and connect it via Settings > Browser Integration.Īuto-Fill Option A) Use the browser extension. You have to specify an URL for each entry. You have to specify a Window Association for each entry.Setup via Settings > General > Auto-Type -> Global Auto-Type shortcut.With Auto-Type, you don’t need a browser extension but you have to define a window title that KeePass can match. The star is a wildcard to match the window title. I heavily use the entry notes for additional information.

For instance, I place the numbers of my bank accounts, credit cards, tax, insurance, and contracts here. KeePassXC can generate the token for a 2-Factor-Authentication. You don’t need to grab the Smartphone and the Google Authenticator. You only need the secret key that is contained in the QR Code you usually scan with your smartphone. You can store sensitive files (like ssh private keys) as attachments. You can set the decryption time for opening the database after typing the password.
