KP auto-lock automatically closes databases as a security precaution, based on several configured criteria (for example, when an idle timer elapses). When paired with secure login credentials, these features may be useful alternatives to KeePass' auto-lock. Windows offers several built-in login security features, including automatic idle and other event-based screen locks. To help ensure minimal impact to Auto Sync operations, the plugin implements a “deferred sync” option when the condition is detected. KeePass’ auto-lock and related features interfere with the operation of the Auto Sync on Save option. Hold down the Shift key then run the KeePass Save or Open command to bypass Auto Sync for the current command. For more details, see Deferred Auto Sync below. In such cases, you can optionally defer Auto Sync until the database is reopened. BEWARE: KeePass features such as auto-lock save changes then immediately close the database, preventing the plugin from automatically syncing.Auto Sync only works if the current database is configured for the plugin,Īnd if the Sync with Drive function is enabled.KeePass notifies the plugin when you Open or Save, and the plugin invokes the Sync with Drive command if enabled.You can enable Auto Sync for the Open command, Save command, or both.The Sync with Drive command must be enabled.If enabled for the KeePass Save command, any changes made in your current KeePass session are saved and merged into the Drive copy.If Auto Sync is enabled for the KeePass Open command, then each time you open aĭatabase, the Sync with Drive function is invoked automatically, thusĮnsuring any changes made to the Drive copy since the last time you used theĭatabase are merged into the opened database.

Sync every time you open or save the database ( unless you don’t want to!).
