Method One for KeePass to Automatically Fill Passwords in Chrome Browser

KeePass is an open-source password management software. Compared to paid password managers like Lastpass, Naiba personally feels more assured with open-source software. Moreover, KeePass manages password storage through a database, key file, and password; as long as these three items are not lost together, there's no need to worry about security.KeePass also supports multiple platforms and can be used for free on both computers and mobile devices. I believe friends who have found this article already have some understanding of KeePass.This article aims to share how toachieve automatic password filling for KeePass in the Chrome browser. This method is applicable to other browsers based on the Chromium kernel, such asBrave browser. (Actually, Naiba researched and wrote this article because he recently started using the Brave browser, and the current version of Brave does not yet support password synchronization.)

Essential Requirements for KeePass Auto-Fill Passwords in Chrome

Here, we need to use two tools: 1.KeePass Tusk - Password Access and Autofillextension (if you cannot download it, leave a comment and I will send it to you) 2. Any one of Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive/pCloud/WebDAV/database link URL. Naiba„s tip: The first few cloud storage services require a VPN to access. If you don“t have a VPN, you can use Nutstore„s WebDAV function or simply upload your database to a server or cloud storage that supports direct URL linking. To set up Nutstore“s WebDAV, go to „Account Info“ - „Security Options“ - „Third-party App Management“ and add it. The personal version has monthly traffic limits, but it is more than sufficient for syncing KeePass passwords.

KeePass with OneDrive Sync and Auto-Fill Passwords

First, upload your KeePass database file (the .kdbx file) to OneDrive. (If you are using Windows 10 and have OneDrive enabled by default, this will be very convenient.) Then, click on the KeePass Tusk icon installed in Chrome (or other Chromium-based browsers like Brave). 1. Select "Add a KeePass database file"2. On the new page, select "Cloud Storage setup"3. Here, choose OneDrive (select the one you are using)4. An authorization prompt will appear; click "Allow"Next, the Microsoft account login interface will appear; just log in. If everything is correct, it should automatically select the .kdbx database file you uploaded earlier.5. Then, click "MANAGE KEYFILES" on the navigation bar and select your key file. (Use the "ADD KEY FILE" button to add it.)6. If everything is normal, clicking the KeePass Tusk icon in the top right corner will bring up the following interface, prompting you to enter the password.If the password is correct, the saved password information for the current website will be displayed. Clicking the magic wand icon at the end means automatic filling, while the one before it is the copy button.

KeePass with Nutstore Sync and Auto-Fill Passwords

To sync KeePass with Nutstore, first, you need to register aNutstoreaccount. Then, upload your KeePass database to Nutstore. Next, go to Nutstore„s “Account Info„ - “Security Options„ - “Third-party App Management„ to create a WebDAV application and obtain the password. The method for achieving automatic password filling in Chrome after syncing with Nutstore is similar to the OneDrive method above, except you choose the WEBDAV mode when selecting the storage. The specific steps are as follows: Click on the KeePass Tusk icon installed in Chrome (or other Chromium-based browsers like Brave). 1. Select “Add a KeePass database file„ 2. On the new page, select “Cloud Storage setup„ 3. Choose WebDAV mode. Then, enter your Nutstore account information, and it will scan for your KeePass database on Nutstore; just select it.4. Then, click "MANAGE KEYFILES" on the navigation bar and select your key file. (Use the "ADD KEY FILE" button to add it.) If everything is normal, clicking the KeePass Tusk icon in the top right corner will prompt you to enter the password, and then you can use the automatic filling feature.

It is important to note that filling passwords via the KeePass Tusk plugin does not require you to install the KeePass software on every computer, because the plugin reads information directly from your online database. This means it can only read your saved passwords and cannot add or modify your password content.

If you want to achieve real-time addition and modification of password content, please refer to Naiba's second article on KeePass automatic fillingMethod Two for KeePass to Automatically Fill Passwords in Chrome Browser
