A more detailed description of the different functions can be found in the Wiki
Changing passwords
PasswordChangeAssistant integrates into the entry form and offers a standalone form in addition.
Within the enry form, PasswordChangeAssistant displays a different icon in front of the most recently used password profile.
In addition, a new button to auto-type/copy both old and new passwords is displayed
The stand alone form can be accessed using the context menu und supports PEDCalc as well. It offers additional functionality like
- 2nd URL fields that can hold the direct link to the Change password site of the selected entry
- Select - and maintain - Auto-type sequences for changing the password
Synchronizing password profiles
Here you can move existing profiles in various directions
- Between two databases
- From an open database to the global KeePass configuration
- From the global KeePass configuration to an open database
Password profile: At least 1 per set
There are quite some websites that force you to follow password rules like this:
- Minimum 8 characters
- Maximum 30 characters
- At least 1 upper case letter
- At least 1 lower case letter
- At least 1 special characters
- At least 1 digit
While the length requirement is easy to achieve with KeePass' built-in password generator (just go for 30 characters), the at least 1 is not achievable in an easy way.
PasswordChangeAssistant now provides a custom password generator that allows creation of passwords with at least 1 character of every selected set.
IF required by the website, feel free to use it.
