Password generator icon in launcher #1234
Comments
The password generator is available when creating an entry.
I see a limited interest in generating passwords that will be lost but I plan to make another application just for password generation and create a separate icon on the launcher. |
Yes, I know it. But it's not useful when you need to register somewhere. Or you prefer first add entry, generate password, copy it and then use copied password during registration?
It should not be lost. KeePassDX should have possibility to generate and copy the password. At least will be nice to have password generator in inline mode. Other password managers apps has this option. |
Copying to the clipboard is very strongly discouraged as explained in this wiki page : https://github.com/Kunzisoft/KeePassDX/wiki/Clipboard
The Autofill workflow already works for entry registration, so for the creation of a password generated from an entry. (If you don't mean autofill, what do you mean by inline mode?)
I didn't say it was better to create a new app than add an icon to the history screen of KeePassDX. The new password generator application will be more complete and will contain dictionaries for passphrases in several languages. If installed on the device, it will improve the internal password generator of KeePassDX so used independently as you like.
This is not a reason if functionally it is not suitable. If the neighbor jumps out of the window, do you also do it without thinking? If you describe to me a more secure and faster workflow, we can explore solutions. |
Well, let's discuss in other way. I'll list you the steps that I have to do during registration somewhere.
Ho do you think, is it correct way? Maybe the problem with my phone, but I don't see any autofill button on password field during registration, and KeePassDX does'n ask me to store in db newly registered entry. |
From your workflow : If your problem is that autofill is not displaying a popup, the form, browser or application may be preventing the autofill service from the device. In this case, use the Magikeyboard :

You mean, better is to create a new entry, save it in db before registration? And then delete it if registration will unsuccessful? |
Yes, If you call "registration" the confirmation of the service you create an account for, I don't see any problem with that.
You give up completely your registration to a service if you have an error that appears in the validation? I don't think it happens that often but in this case yes, just delete the entry, it's not a big deal.
Computers are much more permissive than the Android system. If you have a better technical method with all the constraints of the system, feel free to propose your solution. |
Ok @J-Jamet let me try to change registration flow in that way ))) But anyway I think that it will be nice to add password generator button somewhere in the main page under "+" button))) |
Hoo, we didn't understand each other on the main page already, I thought you were talking about the database selection page. |
Yesss!! Exactly what I suggest ))) sorry for my bad English )) |
I thought about this feature and in fact the interest is very limited to create an independent password generator application. So it's only useful for generating passwords that are temporary, but it doesn't fit your need to register in a service. |
I would also like this feature, or at least generator option for custom fields. I use fields for security questions, and would rather use secret passwords then discoverable answers to the common security questions. |
I agree with Aeyk even if it's not quite the initially requested feature. I have some accounts with multiple "passwords" for different purposes and it's a pain to create them in KeePassDX. There should be a way to invoke the password generator within KeePassDX for more or all fields and not just the main password. At the moment, the only way is creating a new password, copying it and cancelling the change to the actual password or do the same with a dummy entry. |
It will be very useful to have password generator section in the main menu.
Currently it's not possible to use KeePassDX if I want to register somewhere, because there's no password generator.
