Dropbox and KeePassDroid

The new Dropbox Android app plays nicely with KeePassDroid. I use Dropbox to synchronize my keepass database, because it is available on all of the platforms I use daily: Linux, Windows, and Android.

It's very easy to use. I install it on my desktop first, and move my keepass database into my dropbox. Then, fire up the Dropbox Android app, and log in:

Navigate to your database and click on it:

It will jump to the password screen in KeePassDroid:

In the background the Dropbox app will be waiting to see if you make changes to the database.  If you do, it will upload your changes back to your Dropbox.

KeePass 2.0/.kdbx support

Sorry to keep you all waiting. The new version of KeePassDroid has beta read-only support for .kdbx databases. I haven't exposed the additional fields this format supports, yet. I'll slowly get it all in.  Please keep backups and help me shake out the bugs.

Thanks to @kibmcz for the new icons.

Copy and paste username and password from notifications

In version 0.9.5, a new feature has been added to make it easier to copy and paste usernames and passwords.

Now, whenever you open an entry in your database, two options will be added to your notification bar:

Select user name or password while in you are in the web browser application to quickly copy and paste both of them without switching back and forth.

These options will disappear when you close the entry or when the database times out.

KeePassDroid 0.9.0

• Create new databases on your device
• Auto sort entries when adding new ones
  

KeePassDroid 0.6

New features:

• Change database password
• Change number of encryption rounds. A lower setting will speed up loading and saving your database. This comes at the cost of decreasing the cost of a brute force dictionary attack against your database.

I'm very close to support the creation of new databases on the device.

KeePassDroid 0.5

Changes:

• Fixed search (I think I broke it in 0.4.1)
• Long press on entries and groups to delete.
  

KeePassDroid 0.4.1

Since the last blog post the following changes have been made:

• Fix timeout locking crashes
• Fix lock from search screen
• Increase clipboard timeout
• Support adding groups
  

KeePassDroid 0.3.3

UI tweaks thanks to Francis Jacquerye.

Also, I fixed the way that the Go to URL function worked. It now assumes http if no protocol is specified and gives an error message instead of crashing if there is no app installed to handle the URL. Thanks Kevin Backs for helping me track down the problems.

KeePassDroid 0.3.1

Quick update to add some textbox hints and to address some issues with non-ascii characters in passwords.

KeePassDroid 0.3

Search is now available from any group activity. Currently search is looking at the title, url, and comment field. It's a little naive at the moment. I'm open to suggestions for improving it.

KeePassDroid 0.2.1

A new version is out:

• Add new entries
• Minor UI tweaks
• No more crashing if you open the keyboard or change orientation during database loads and saves.
  

KeePassDroid 0.2.0

New version is released. The major improvement is that this version supports editing existing KeePass entries.

Short Term Roadmap:

• Adding new entries
• Adding/editing groups
• Creating databases
• Search for entries

KeePassDroid 0.1.8

New Features

• About dialog box added
• Database decryption has been moved to a background thread. Android won't prompt to force close the app anymore for long running decryptions.

Not having these two things was really bothering me. Now that this is done, I'm going to turn my attention to editing and saving the database.

KeePassDroid 0.1.7 released

New feature: Usernames and passwords are cleared from the clipboard 30 seconds after they are copied to it. This will become customizable in the future.

KeePassDroid 0.1.6 released

KeePassDroid 0.1.6 has been released.

Improvements:

• Idle timeout: If the application is not in the foreground for 5 minutes, it will automatically close the database (in the future, I'll make this configurable).
• The comment field is now scrollable if the text overflows the box.
  

I spent the last few weeks figuring out how to get some basic unit testing working on Android and worked to get some asynchrony into the application (the timeout).

Once I get a few small things figured out, I'm going to start working on support for editing and creating databases.

KeePassDroid v0.1.5 is out. It contains mostly UI enhancements.

Uservoice

I'm going to try out User Voice as a way to collect and prioritize goals for this project.

If you have new suggestions please add them, and vote for the ones that are most important to you.

v.0.1.4 is out.

The version adds support for databases encrypted with key files.

v0.1.3 is out:

• Hide Meta-Info entries
• Change "Copy URL" to "Go to URL"
• Support "Go to Homepage"
• Support Lock menu option
• Fix blank password crash

v.0.1.2 is up. Fixes crashes when accessing any root level group other than the first.
