Method 1: Implementing KeePass for Automatic Password Filling in Chrome Browser

KeePass is an open-source password management software. Compared to paid password managers like LastPass, Naiba personally feels more at ease with open-source software. Furthermore, KeePass manages password storage through a database, a key file, and a master password. As long as these three items are not lost together, there is no need to worry about security issues.KeePass also supports multiple platforms and can be used for free on computers and mobile phones. I believe friends who have found this article are already familiar with 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 precisely because the recent use of the Brave browser, whose current version does not yet support password sync functionality.)

Prerequisites for KeePass Auto-Fill Passwords in Chrome

Here we need to use two tools: 1. TheKeePass Tusk - Password Access and Autofillextension (if you cannot download it, leave a comment and I will send it to you). 2. Any one of the following: 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 place the database on a server or cloud storage that supports direct URL linking. Nutstore“s WebDAV can be set up under „Account Info“ -> „Security Options“ -> „Third-Party App Management“. 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, select OneDrive (choose the service you are using).4. An authorization prompt will pop up; click "Allow".Next, the Microsoft account login interface will appear; 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 display the following interface, prompting you to enter the master password.If the password is correct, the saved password information for the current website will be displayed. Clicking the magic wand icon at the far right means auto-fill, and 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 „Account Info“ - „Security Options“ - „Third-party App Management,“ create a WebDAV application, and obtain the password. After setting up Nutstore sync, the method for Chrome to automatically input KeePass passwords is similar to the OneDrive method above, except you select WEBDAV mode when choosing the storage. Specific steps are as follows: Click the KeePass Tusk icon installed on Chrome (or other Chromium-based browsers like Brave). 1. Select Add a KeePass database file. 2. On the new page, choose Cloud Storage setup. 3. Select WebDAV mode. Then enter your Nutstore account information, and it will scan for your KeePass database on Nutstore; select it.4. Then click MANAGE KEYFILES on the top navigation bar and select your key file. (Use the ADD KEY FILE button to add.) If everything is normal, clicking the KeePass Tusk icon in the top right will prompt you to enter the password, and then you can use the auto-fill feature.

Note here: filling passwords via the KeePass Tusk plugin does not require you to install KeePass software on every computer, because the plugin reads information directly from your online database. That 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 auto-fill.KeePass Method Two for Implementing Automatic Password Filling in Chrome Browser
