How to work with KeePass

[rudrax]

Seems like KeePass is the lightest password manager available and like most of the open source apps, it's also not "instal and go" kind. It's needs to be configured.

I want to use this as a browser password manager for firefox. So, I need help of the guys who is using it successfully.

I've tried the tutorial in this http://keepass.info/help/base/firststeps.html link but I'm getting an error with firefox.

Did you try the FF extension for KeePass -- KeeFox http://keefox.org/

I use auto type. I just have to select the entries manually for each site.

It takes a few seconds more but it works every time. ;)

Seems working but it's not filling the forms automatically. How to configure it to do that?

Sticky password is very easy to use utility. I liked it while I was on windows 7 but it had a issue. It used to freeze the browser for a few secs while filling the login data. Is that issue still continues with windows 8? If the issue is solved, I will give it a try as it's very easy to use.

make sure you have filled the URL entry correctly, where the forms are located

and I use KeeFox

I dont remember KeeFox filling in the log in credentials automatically the last time i used it .

You have to tell it to fill in the form .

Was using both KeePass and Lastpass for the last so many years , but gave up KeePass 2 years back !

Presently satisfied with LastPass and here also i have set it to "NOT" enter any data automatically .

I prefer to manually tell it to enter the required fields . Works good and to my taste , especially for web sites with clashing credentials or with multiple IDs .

how to work with KeePass and integrate it with Firefox
- Install Firefox
- Install KeePass
- Create Database (Ctrl + N), enter your database name


- Enter your master password


- Step 2, you can pass it
- Save database first (Ctrl + S)
- Create your password database by Add Entry (Ctrl + I), and don't forget to save the database if you finish

Integrate with Firefox using addons (KeeFox)
- Open Firefox, then go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keefox/
- Install this addon
- Click Setup KeeFox to integrate KeePass with Firefox using KeeFox


- Launch KeePass (if it is closed)


- Login to the website as usual


after login, choose the option if you want to save the password into KeePass or not
- the next time you visit the website, you just need to launch KeePass and click your login info on the toolbar to login into the website

thanks :)

Thank you so much rach for simplifying things :) But I have switched to Sticky Password as it is very easy to use.
