LockAssist integrates into KeePass' options form.

Usage

You'll find more details in the Wiki

Quick Unlock

Quick Unlock lets you unlock a previously opened database without the need to enter the complete password.
You can unlock your database with a only a few characters instead - your quick unlock key.
Have a look at the Wiki to learn why this does not impose security risks.

Options

SoftLock

SoftLock hides sensitive information while still allowing Auto-Type as well as other integration.
You can configure SoftLock to kick in after a certain inactivity or when minimizing KeePass.

When active, the following is hidden:

  • group list
  • entry list
  • entry view
  • all forms containing sensitive data (entry form, ...)

Options

Lock workspace

By default, 'Lock workspace' will lock all loaded databases whereas 'Unlock workspace' will only unlock the currently selected database.

LockAssist changes the behaviour of 'Lock Workspace' for both the menu entry as well as the toolbar button.
If this option is active ALL loaded databases are locked / unlocked by using these commands.
It depends on the active document's state whether a global lock or global unlock is performed.

Hold the [Shift] key pressed to only lock / unlock the active document.

Translations

LockAssist is provided with english language built-in and allows usage of translation files. These translation files need to be placed in a folder called Translations inside in your plugin folder. If a text is missing in the translation file, it is backfilled with the english text. You're welcome to add additional translation files by creating a pull request.

Naming convention for translation files: lockassist.<language identifier>.language.xml
Example: lockassist.de.language.xml

The language identifier in the filename must match the language identifier inside the KeePass language that you can select using View -> Change language...
This identifier is shown there as well, if you have EarlyUpdateCheck installed
