How to copy passwords stored in KeePass to other applications.
|
There are many different methods to copy passwords stored in KeePass to other applications:
Context-Sensitive
Password List
Depending on which field you double-click in the password list (main window),
different actions are performed:
- Title field: open the entry editing dialog for this entry.
- User Name field: copy user name to clipboard.
- URL field: open the URL (in browser).
- Password field: copy password to the clipboard.
- Notes field: notes are copied to the clipboard.
- Any other fields (like time
and UUID fields): copy the contents of that field to the clipboard.
Drag&Drop
You can drag&drop all fields of KeePass entries into other windows. Here's
a screenshot illustrating this:
Auto-Type
Auto-Type is a powerful feature that sends simulated keypresses to
other applications.
You can find more details about it here:
Auto-Type documentation page.
KeeForm,
Browser Toolbar and other Plugins
There are a lot of plugins available integrating KeePass directly with
other applications. KeeForm and the Browser Integration Toolbar
for Internet Explorer allow completely automatic filling of
webforms for example.
You can find these integration plugins on the
KeePass Plugins page.
