How does KeePass synchronize passwords online? Trigger cloud automatic synchronization method

  • KeePass does not have a caching mechanism like KeePasss2Android.
  • Every time it is read or written, it will go over the network.
  • When you are disconnected from the network, you cannot open URLs that were opened before because there is no local cache.

solution:

  • Download the KeePass password vault locally and sync it with a remote file via sync.
  • The act of synchronization is to merge two password databases with the same master key at the same time.
  • KeePass will also automatically prompt if there is a data conflict.
  • After synchronization is complete, the local password database and cloud password database should be consistent.

Automatic cloud sync with KeePass triggers

We use KeePass + Nut cloud network disk to synchronize the password database. The next question is how to automatically synchronize the password database?

KeePass2Android has an automatic synchronization function, but KeePass needs to be set manually, using the trigger of KeePass to automatically synchronize the network.

The following method is recommended for this tutorial to automatically synchronize database passwords through Nut Cloud▼

Please Note

  • The following methods are not recommended, because they are imperfect and may not automatically synchronize passwords to Nutstore.

KeePass creates new Trigger

First create a new Trigger (trigger), write the name casually ▼

事件

KeePass adds a trigger, select "Close database file (before saving)" in "Event"▼

KeePass add trigger: select "Close database file (before saving)" in "Event" sheet 4

  • Instead of selecting "Close database file (after saving)", it will cause triggersunlimitedCircular……

条件

KeePass adds a trigger, in the "Condition" column, use "Database has unsaved changes"▼

KeePass Add Trigger: In the "Condition" column, use "Database has unsaved changes" Sheet 5

  • This will cause the password to only be triggered when the password vault is automatically locked
  • A sync will be triggered if the password vault has been changed but not saved.
  • After all, the synchronization time is long, and Nut Cloud has limited access to the WebDav API.

action

Finally, in Actions, select "Sync current database with a file/URL"▼
