(Remember to erase your XML files, because they list your passwords in cleartext. The next step was to import the merged XML file into KeePassX, and test that the data was as expected. My db3.xml file was now in the directory with the other two XML files. But once that was straightened out, the script printed notices for each change it performed, and ended. So I had to mess around a little with a few of the entries in the source XML files. For instance, it may not be UTF-8 compatible. It turns out the XML export doesn’t take into account the data we put in the database. Python kpmerger.py db1.xml db2.xml db3.xmlĪt first I ran into some issues, which boiled down to malformed XML. The script requires three parameters: the first two are the XML databases to be merged and the third is the destination, or merged, database. Name it whatever you want I used kpmerger.py. Copy this script into the same directory as the db1.xml and db2.xml files. I found this script on the KeePassX forums. The reason you want Python on your system, is because we have a Python script which performs the merge of the two XML databases.
You’ll also need to find others if you’re using Windows or Linux. Here’s one instructional post on installing Python on OSX you may want to find others using your favourite search engine. Next, make sure you have Python 2.5 or better installed on your system. Copy or move these files to the same directory. Yesterday I spent quite some time merging the two databases, and I’m documenting it here for the next time I may need it, and for others who may run into the same issue.įirst step, export both databases to XML. I have two copies of KeePassX, and, inevitably, they become out of sync. But it’s a desktop application, rather than a website and that becomes a problem as I move between my work computer, and my home machine.
It’s available for Mac, Linux and Windows. I use an open source program called KeePassX.
#ALFRED AND KEEPASSX SOFTWARE#
So, it’s helpful to have software to keep track of it all.
#ALFRED AND KEEPASSX PASSWORD#
And with each website, we need to remember the site’s URL, the ID we used, and the password we assigned it. But with these websites and services comes the need for authentication. I don't know whether it's a bug and I even don't know whether it will have an effect on KeePass's security.One of the things I love most about the Internet is the great diversity of websites and services available at our fingertips.
Then,I click the "Show/Hide Password" button and we can see some mask in the AU3_Spy's window.īut,when I click the "Show/Hide Password" button again,the password showing in the AU3_Spy's window!
#ALFRED AND KEEPASSX SERIES#
I have uploaded a series of pictures for help descripting this problem well,the right side of picture is the AU3_Spy's window.įirst,I edit a entry that already exist,please take notice the part of picture below marked with red color,the value of "Text" is empty now. This time,when I open the KeePass with the AU3_Spy.exe(a small tool used to get the window's information,you can find it in the AutoHotkey 's release pack, here) is running,I find this problem unexpectedly. I really love this software and often use it to store my important information,Thanks to the developers a lot. I'm new to here.Excuse me for my poor english.
