Great...that means you can go back to many of your other questions, where you said you were going to go back and add the answers. Since you're not having issues, you should have time to fill those in, right?

Since you AGAIN provide no useful details (version/distro of Linux, version of keepass, or what you have ACTUALLY DONE), how do you think anyone will be able to tell you what you did wrong?? It seems we have to keep telling/asking you this every time you post, and you always say "you have convinced me"...but never do. Can you tell us why we should try to help you, when you keep doing such things?

As you've been told many, MANY times as well...did you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS??? Pay particular attention to the "auto-type" feature.

howdy hello dear TBONE thx for the link!


I have also inserted a few URL's, Usernames and Passwords.

Now with these entries I could go to my collection of URL/Username/Password and launch that URL from that list. Upon opening, my forums which i visit all days . they used to log me in to that website. I can't seem to find this feature in Keepass ? I have found the command whereby I can launch the URL but it will not log me in automatically.

Am I missing something here or is this feature not part of the great keepass.for Windows and linux? i am a bit confused now!
If I am missing something, can someone, PLEASE, tell me how to make it work ?

Thanking you all in advance.

Do you not listen or understand what people tell you??? AGAIN, as you have been told for a LONG TIME NOW...DO NOT USE TEXT SPEAK. And again, why can you not look anything up for yourself??? Are you unable to use Google? Why do you come here and ask for handouts, time after time? Or have you STILL not read the "Question Guidelines" link as you've been told/asked to many times????

Again, have you bothered to READ THE DOCUMENTATION??? Your answer is in there, and it's very plain. You were even spoon-fed a link (as you usually need to be), which tells you how and why it works that way. Or are you expecting us to read that page and explain it to you?

And again, are you unable to understand what you are told/asked??? I was VERY plain in my last post...you HAVE NOT PROVIDED DETAILS, and still aren't. Version/distro of Linux, version of Keepass, what you've already done/tried, etc. You STILL haven't answered. We are not here to babysit you, nor ask you time after time to do these things.

AGAIN..you ignore what you're told/asked. I asked you why we should continue to try to help you, given your behavior..so, tell us why. Also, are you going to go back to the dozens of threads where you SAY you'll "add my findings and solution", but haven't yet? It's been years on some of them.

howdy Tboune hope your all right and everything goes well across the Atlantic


good day dear well read thx again! GREAT to hear from you. I guess that i do both


well - sure thing: KeePass does not natively form-fill, i.e. fill in passwords automatically whenever we open a web page.
So dear TBone - we have to admit that we have to look for more & other solutions - eg Addons that help us. See more below..


The most powerful native method is Auto-Type which requires the user to press a hotkey to initiate auto-type.
Well as said above - we need to have some special tools: Hmmm - there are third party plugins available for form-filling.
If i do not get it up and running then i have a closer look for the Support for form-filling plugins at the respective plugin developer at the plugin website.

But wait: Keepass has got some native support: the native methods are just great and have some coool features - native methods for using data stored in KeePass take a look at the KeePass documentation, Using Stored Passwords page.

Well TBone - as allway - reading the docs is pretty important - thats what i am going to do now.

i will
-a look for a plugin
-b try to figure out how the native mehtods work -

greetings

And allays do a good job here - plz help out with your ideas & knoweldge and encouraging postings...

This forum is just great


update: well dear TBONE - i will try out the keeform...: see below


KeeForm is designed to open and scan a web site for input fields and fill them accordingly with a user name and password. Please note, this is done without any "auto-typing", therefore it is very safe to use: you don't need to be worried that your data could be accidentally typed into a different window. KeeForm comes with an easy-to-use installer.

KeeForm works with Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

cheers TBONE - allways keep on posting - / keep on doing a good mods-job here. We need you!

Are you truly incapable of understanding things? DO NOT USE TEXT SPEAK, is that not clear??? Read the LQ Rules (as you've been told to MANY times before). It's "thanks", not 'thx'. And you "do both" what????

...which is what their documentation (that you didn't bother even looking at) said from the start.

You should do that FIRST, as you've been told to many times, on many other topics. You NEVER do research, but come looking for handouts, and to be spoon-fed things, because you're apparently too lazy to do it on your own. You always CLAIM to do it/will do it, but you don't.

Would be far better if people like you read the rules and guidelines, and ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD AND FOLLOWED THEM. Again...no text speak, and you need to actually, at some point in your life, SHOW SOME EFFORT AND THOUGHT OF YOUR OWN, and stop asking people to babysit you.

People here already knew this, because it's in the documentation and on their forums, and in their plug libraries. The only person, apparently, who didn't understand/know this is YOU, because you didn't bother to look.

Please, go be lazy elsewhere; we've had quite enough of it here over the years.

.... Deal with a thing while it is still nothing; keep a thing in order before disaster sets in. A quote from Lao Tzu on your comments would have done well to have heeded.
It does not help that the forum here is well supportet - all the mods and especially the user here are - are both clear, supportive and also structured and their answers are literally sprinkled with examples.

This only accentuates the contrast with this exhibit, which leaves the user reader as confused after reading your comments.

TBone - Your head seems to be a mess - correction, make that more confused. There is no lack of substance, but also no shape, no argument and no goal.


Conclusio: your head seems to be a desaster - and you should think over your work here.... Just remember Lao Tzu....

@OP, your original question, is confusing and you need to clarify it. Your follow-up details do not provide enough information for people to assist you, please review the Project Rules part of the Site FAQ to aid you in creating more "helpful to you" questions where you can get answers which are helpful without so very much back and forth needed to get your real issue explained to forum members.

As far as how this thread has progressed, I'm disappointed. I do agree that the description of the issue is very unclear. The thread was also created in the Non-NIX->General forum and that's not the correct place to start a technical thread. I'd prefer that as frustrating as it is to assist members, old and new, that we strive for politeness and professionalism, or at least silence in the face of repeated poor thread creation over something different.

This is the second time you've spouted things that you don't seem to understand. What you need to deal with is the plain fact that you continue to show no effort of your own, keep asking for handouts, and keep ignoring the forum rules and guidelines. You have for years.

There is little to be confused about.
  • You keep saying you'll do things (i.e. fill in your results about things you solve), but you do not.
  • You keep saying you'll do better about providing details...but you do not.
  • You are asked questions, which you do not answer
  • You show either very little to ZERO effort (mostly zero), in every thread you open
And yet, when you're asked to provide details, fill things in, or get asked why you are unable to look something up for yourself, you come back with junk like this? It seems you are unable to deal with your own shortcomings, and want to blame others. Sorry, not going to work...anyone who looks at your posting history can see the pattern of things you've posted. Why ask questions about something that is answered in the documentation?? All that says is that you DON'T EVEN TRY to look things up for yourself. This thread is a perfect example, as well as many others that do the same thing. You were asked in the first reply to provide details...did you? Was your answer in the documentation, which you were spoon-fed in that same reply? Yes, it was. And your response is to whine and post things like this?

If you're unable to understand these things, then there's little anyone, anywhere can do to help you.

Good luck, rtmistler. The OP has a pattern of this, going back years. They've been continually asked to provide details, and answer questions, but they don't. For example:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175589161/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ux-4175577653/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...me-4175574029/

...and such things go back years. Never changes. Years ago, responses to the OP were far more measured, to no avail. To me, there comes a time when if the carrot doesn't work, you apply the stick.

sure thing - questions allwayss can be clarified. Youre right. And i agree with many points youre talking about. Your comments and thoughts are okay to me - they are spelled out in a way and manner that help.

you have the "sound" and this includes all your ideas, suggestions and thoughts that are well and supportive.

that said - i find your posting helpful and supportive.

Others here - talk with so much dissapooining bias - and (almost( hateful sound and meaning. It is terrible to follow them...


So - if a support-forum is lacking good and helpful people then nobody will try to ask anything.. - in the end we have a place where only the silly talks take place...

A SUPPORT-FORUM NEEDS GUYS LIKE YOU rtmistler

MANY MANY thanks for your posting - !!

You've been asked these things for years, by LOTS of people. You don't ever actually change what you post or how.

The only 'bias' is that you continue to ignore pretty much everything asked of you, time after time...and you have for years. You apparently missed the part of what rtmistler said (which is not surprising, since you pretty much ignore ANY criticism/suggestions made of you). This part:

See the part about "poor thread creation"??? That pertains to YOU...and the 'silence' part indicates that people just plain stop talking to you and answering you altogether, because of your behavior.

You need to clarify your original question because it is unclear. Please use this link for a guide how to improve your original question. I'll have nothing further to offer regarding any possible solution without a more clear problem description.
