How to use KeePass for Windows

Install and run Keepass.

• The official version is available in Simplified Chinese.

XNUMX. How to install KeePass Chinese language pack

1. When installing Keepass, the default is English, and there is no Chinese language selection;
2. Click [View] → [Change Language] in the main interface;
3. Click [Open Folder] to open the language installation folder of Keepass;
4. Unzip the downloaded Chinese language compression package, copy and paste the unzipped file into the folder opened in step 3;
5. Repeat step 2, then select [Chinese_Simplified] and click [Yes] in the pop-up box to restart Keepass.

Second, the KeePass plugin installation method

• The KeePass plugin is like an accessory for a safe that enhances the functionality of the safe.

1. In the main interface of keepaass, click [Tools] → [Plugin Manager] → [Open Folder];
2. Please unzip the zip archive first.
3. Then copy and paste the file with the .plgx suffix into the folder opened in step 1;

XNUMX. Database synchronization and encryption

If you are using Windows 10, it is recommended to store the KeePass database directly in the OneDrive folder.

Since OneDrive is integrated into Windows File Explorer, and the OneDrive Web version supports file version history, even if a wrong operation or a file is accidentally deleted, it can be retrieved through the history.

When creating a database, Keepass provides 3 encryption methods that can be used in any combination:

1. Manage passwords
2. keyfile/provider
3. Windows user account

This means that a total of 8 encryption methods can be combined.

Therefore, for overall security, ease of use, cross-platform and other factors, some people recommend using [admin password] + [key file/provider] encryption.

Where [key file/provider] can use any type of file (picture, document, audio, video, etc.), it uses SHA-256 to hash the key file and generate 32 bytes to serve as a key, so please do not modify the key file casually (renaming does not affect).

• Note: If the [Key File/Provider] is lost, the KeePass password database cannot be opened.
• If the administrative password (master password) is strong enough, the key file may not be used.

Interesting places:

You can use family photos, favorite songs, indescribable videos as key documents, and who would have guessed?

• (Using a large file over 100mb as the key file will significantly affect the unlock speed).

• [Number of iterations] exists in the [Security] tab of the database configuration.
• The higher the number, the harder it is to brute force, but the longer it takes to open the database each time.

The default value is 60000:

• Someone set it to 2 on Keepass500000Android (Android version) for 5~6 seconds.

Fourth, automatic input and dual-channel automatic input confusion

As the name suggests, automatic input uses software to simulate keystrokes rather than manual input.

Note that if the target application is running with administrator privileges, KeePass must also be running with administrator privileges in order to use automatic entry in this application.

Normally, to use automatic input in this program when you open a program that pops up a User Account Control warning (UAC), you have to right-click the KeePass icon on the desktop and select "Run as administrator".

The default global hotkey for automatic input is [Ctrl + Shift + A].

Two-channel automatic input confusion is very simple, the specific effect is shown in the figure below ▼

• Tips:The input method must be in English state, Chinese state cannot be input

The working principle is simple and clear:

• The entered characters are randomly divided into two parts and then copied and pasted using the emulated buttons.
• The mode is mixed input (simulation key + copy and paste 2 ways).
• Therefore, a single keylogger or clipboard monitoring software cannot steal the entire input field.

This feature is not enabled by default because some software input boxes do not move the cursor or support paste operations (console-based applications, games, etc.).

When adding or editing records, you must click [Auto Input] and select [Dual Channel Auto Input Obfuscation].

This will undoubtedly increase the cost for ordinary users to use:

• Enabling dual channel auto input to obfuscate the recording requires an additional 3 clicks.
• For users with hundreds of passwords, this is definitely a huge difficulty.

Here is a quick and easy solution.

Automatically enter matching rules:

• When the auto-enter global hotkey is pressed, KeePass will search the database for a matching record based on the title of the currently active window;
• A record will be matched if the active window title contains the title or URL of the record.

XNUMX. Keepass uses fixed settings

This is a very special technology that allows you to use fixed application settings every time you open Keepass, just like a restart of the computer system in an Internet cafe to automatically restore the settings.

Since the Keepass password locks the database, not the main program, anyone can enter the Keepass program and change application settings while the computer is unlocked.

This technique is mainly used to deal with the following 2 situations:

• 1) Someone else modified your Keepass option settings...
• 2) People with ulterior motives, when you are not paying attention, forget to lock or leave the computer halfway, quickly export all data...

Therefore, it is recommended to develop a good habit of locking the computer (Win key + L), but it is enough to deal with the little bear children at home.

Keepass uses fixed settingsConfiguration method:

1) Open Keepass's [Tools] → [Options]

2) Set the required settings → [OK]

3) Open Windows File Explorer, click the tab [View], and then select [Hidden Items].

4) Open the folder C:Users(用户)User NameAppDataRoamingKeePass ▼

5) Put the folder in the KeePass.config.xml, renamed to KeePass.config.enforced.xml

6) Cut and paste it to the folder C:Program Files (x86)KeePass Password Safe 2 you can ▼

7) To cancel, delete KeePass.config.enforced.xml file.

Global hotkey

Set a global hotkey to quickly open the KeePass software window.
