I've been using it for 3 years and had no idea about these functions! Your video is very useful! Thank you very much!
I'm so glad you like it. Happy you found some useful insights!
Hi Valentin, thanks for the great video! Congrats on the channel growth, from 3160 to 4940 subs in a year is awesome! Keep up the good work
Thanks for your comment. I'm so happy about the growth.. even if I am currently too busy with life and work to create more videos . Very soon, more good stuff will be out!
@@ValentinKossenko does this keepass ur using also allows syyncing across diffrent devices
Thanks, good info here.
Hi Lenny, appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the amazing content! I’m really interested into the advanced features and capabilities of this program, any context related to power users and advanced options would be greatly appreciated keep up the good work!
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment! Is there anything specific, you'd like to learn about? Or are you interested in more overviews like these, where I go into more detail? Would love to hear back from you!
@@ValentinKossenko I would say one of the most interesting feature keepass has is triggers. One thing you could showcase is how to have a master database (maybe for a household) and individual databases for every user. Upon opening the 'Master' database from a specific computer all passwords are going to be imported. Building this (for me at least) was a fascinating project and knowing the way you approach videos, you most likely going to find even more options for something like that!
long story short, triggers !!
@@Steliosgiannatos Sounds interesting. I personally haven't looked into triggers too much so far, but I'll definitely check them out and see if I can make an interesting video!
Hi Valentin. First of all thank you for the great videos on how to set up Keepass. I've been using it now for about a year and couldn't have got it set up so well without you and your brilliant videos. I have the portable version set up on 2 Windows PC's, along with Keepass2Android on my 2 phones and Syncthing keeping them all fully up to date and it has worked brilliantly ever since on all my devices.
My only negative comment is about using Key Files. The makers of Keepass told me on their forum that they don't recommend Key Files. When I was first setting it up, along with Syncthing, the Key File kept running into some kind of problem that seemed to corrupt my database and locked me out so I had to abandon that idea and set it up with no Key File and it has worked perfectly ever since.
Once again I just want to say a huge thank you to you as I couldn't have got it working so well without your help. Best wishes to you.
Syncthing is awesome. I'm happy about comments like yours and very glad my videos were helpful for you. ❤️
Excellent and Informative
Thanks, appreciated!
Thanks to your videos I am a happy KeePass user
Glad to hear that!
nice work
Thanks, appresh!
Your KeePass videos are very very well done, both in production quality and in their information. The best available on RUclips for the topic. I am just getting started with KeePass and setting up my own cloud on my NAS, but I know it will be much easier following your tips.
One more video would be very helpful though. In one of your videos you mention that you were the resource for your entire family's passwords including your grandmother. How about a video on how to set up KeePass so that family members can access the passwords also? Maybe setting up some family passwords and then some passwords for individuals alone with private access would help. Is there a way for individual master passwords to access one account with shared files like different users share a Windows PC? Although I know I can use KeePass, I am worried about my wife and son accepting it. How did you bring your Grandmother along?
But again, very good videos!
Hey Tom, appreciate your kind words. This is a great idea and something I will be explaining in a future video or short for sure as it could be useful for many privacy-concerned password manager users.
To answer your question: Individual master passwords are currently not supported. But you could use a shared database with some tricks I will hopefully be showing in a future video.
Looking forward to the usb video !
Oh yeah, this needs to happen! I still got it on my list, but at the moment I am really struggling to find any time for RUclips as my main job and toddler is consuming most of the time I have. I'll see what I can do for you! :)
I follow your keepass related videos. They are informative and excellent. I am not a computer expert. I tried the template plugin mentioned here but unable to use it. Can you let me have a link explaining how to install and use this plug in. I am interested in the format shown in your explanation. Excellent narrations . Keep it up.
Here's a link to my plugin overview, perhaps that will already help you out: ruclips.net/video/5JD6bBDCs2A/видео.html
I find Keepass to be incredibly helpful in my day-to-day life, but I'm curious if it's possible to put a portable version of Keepass on a normal USB stick, and if so, can I sync it with my regular PC so that changes on the PC can be reflected on the USB stick as well?
I actually put the entire KeePass folder in my Dropbox except for the key file itself. That way all my settings are synced across multiple devices without compromising security.
Hi, I followed your videos to set up Keepass and upload all passwords. And installed all plug-ins as well. So far so good. I moved keepass application to dropbox and then tried to set up google extension. The extension does not seem to connect to database. Can you explain why? Thanks
What type of Google extension do you mean?
@@ValentinKossenko chrome extension - for automatically updating the passwords in a browser
Hi, great videos. I want to run a local password manager for all my local systems. Better security, but also, if my internet goes out, I can still access password manager. Is it possible to sync KeePass devices locally? I have all sorts of NAS, VM and such and want the syncing to be local. Thanks.
You could probably achieve something similar to Dropbox synchronization with Syncthing locally. Depending on whether your main machine runs constantly, FreeFileSync or RealTimeSync could work for you as well.
@@ValentinKossenko Thanks for your help. My NAS and Proxmox are always on. My main computer is mostly on, the other only when I need to use them and can get updates then.
can you make a video about how to transfer a keepass database from a adrioid phone to a laptop because i can't do it.
What issues are you running into? I introduce an app called AirDroid in my newest video, which might be helpful to transfer your database to your Android smartphone easily. Hope that helps!
Hi, I'm no longer able to open KeePassDroid file on android phone. Do you have any suggestions?
Hard to tell what's causing this without knowing the exact issue / error message you are getting. I am currently still using KeePass2Android but will soon switch to KeePassDX and create some new and updated tutorials for Android, iOS, macOS and Windows - perhaps even Linux, so stay tuned for that! Cheers!
Helpful videos. Don't take it otherwise, but you need to shorten the length and speak little louder and quicker :)
Some people say I'm too fast, some people say I'm too slow. It can be tough to strike a balance here, but I always take criticism at heart and will try to improve in future videos!
@@ValentinKossenko hope I didn't hurt your feelings. In this tiktok age we want everything fast :)
is it possible to see your old password? i know there is an history option but it only shows when the password was changed. maybe you know?
You can restore it from the history afaik and only then you will see the old password. Excuse the late response!
KEY- Pain in the Ass! But you gotta love it! Why can’t they make an E book (Especially One They Could Update) on how to actually show people what they can with do with it.
Can you also do a video on how to do KeePass 2 Backups as well?
Hey guys, thanks for reaching out! Appreciate your help here, SEEK TRUTH! Always puts a smile on my face when I read things like these.
I understand that KeePass can be quite complicated and after sharing the video on Reddit, many people noted that I was being too fast, which might make it even harder to follow for inexperienced users.
KeePass has a pretty decent knowledge base on their website, so I don't think an eBook is really necessary. If enough people ask for it, I will consider creating one myself though.
Because I do all of this besides my main job, it needs to have a small price tag on it. What would be a fair price on such an eBook? Would appreciate some feedback on that!
@@ValentinKossenko Your right, The website does have some OK instructions but their not Super instructions.
Any guesses, why there is no possibiliy to add 2FA to open KeePass?
If you set up a composite master key like I explain in the video, you will effectively have 2FA. Make sure to keep your key file away from your database though, to make it really safe. There is an OTP plugin that you can use in combination with a Yubikey that is called OTPKeyProv, which you can find here: keepass.info/plugins.html#otpkeyprov Perhaps this is what you're looking for. Looks unnecessarily complicated though for what it is. Just get a couple of cheap USB sticks and put your key file on there. If you do it like this, even if your cloud, etc. gets compromised, as long as no one has access to your USB stick and key file, you'll be perfectly fine. Hope that helps!
@@ValentinKossenko Thank you very much! :)
Master password autofill possible, every time?
What if your device gets stolen, having autofill for your master password could put everything at risk. I have my master password buried in a place where only I know where to find it and just copy and paste it from there which is a far safer idea.
@@marylinc656 copy paste every time in 2023
Yeah, I wouldn't suggest autofilling your master password or saving it in notes or anything similar. That puts all your passwords at risk in case you lose your device. Your password should be saved or written down somewhere else without context so that no one knows what it is for except you.
wow hi germany from colombia
Hi to Colombia, cheers!
@@ValentinKossenko 🤗
okay but the thing with the KeyFile, if you only store it locally and ur pc dies. Your entire DB is useless now.
You are right. That's why you should ideally have backups on multiple devices.
PS: If you make your key file an image, you could also save that on a USB stick at your parents house for an additional backup just in case. Since it is just an image, no one will ever know.
Since I use a KeyFile to safely share my database to other devices, the KeyFile exist on my desktop, phone, and laptop. It's possible, but unlikely they will all fail at once. I have backups of all of these.
@@ericapelz260 That's the best thing you can do! :)
