Add Entry in Autofill
I mentioned this in reddit awhile ago but figured I would post it in here.
If we are on a website that we do not have an account for, it would be nice if there was a + button in the autofill popup that would either allow us to add an entry if autofill extension will allow it or it would open up KeePassium to the add entry page allowing us to add an entry. It gets tedious having to close safari, open KeePassium, add entry, close KeePassium, reopen safari, and then use autofill to fill the new password.
Or better yet, if you had a “default” username the + could auto create an entry with the current url, best guess name, default username, and give a prompt for password options and then when selected it will autofill on the page.
Just tested out KeePassium and missed exactly this feature. Any updates on this.
I‘m very interested, too. It‘s the only feature I‘m missing.
Yep, it is in the list. There are a few higher-priority tasks in the queue, but eventually I'll get to this one, too.
This is now on the list for a long time. Any news? It will increase the my wifes acceptance of KeePass a lot. She says it is complicated to switch apps while registering to online-shops. Would love to see this feature in KeePassium soon.
No news yet, I'm afraid…
At a first glance, this feature looks straightforward: add a screen with prefilled entry data, and a few of buttons to save/edit/cancel. The challenge, however, is that AutoFill works in very tight memory bounds which are barely enough to load the database. Encrypting the DB would double or triple the memory consumption, so the system is very likely to terminate the AutoFill before it finishes saving the file.
As a workaround, AutoFill could temporarily save the new entry somewhere else and then launch the main app to encrypt and save the main database. But this would be so clumsy and ugly that I just self-censor such a solution. And for the lack of other ideas, a bit stuck here...
Oh, it is solvable, it's just hard to make it reliable. Of course, there is always the option of showing "Your database is too large, so it will be read-only", but I'd like to avoid this if possible.
Here is a suggestion to ease the entry creation process but I don’t know if it is possible: when autofill has no entry for a given url, display a button that open the full KeePassium app. Right after unlocking, display a create entry dialog with some fields already pre-filled (url, title) Is it possible?
Even with all the explanations of limited memory, I still don't understand how my old 1Password app (7.10.2) is able to do this but Keepassium can't.

Just like an old iPhone 4 can fit in a pocket but iPhone 15 Pro Max can't… A suitcase would pass through most doors; a shipping container — not so much.
It all depends on the size. If your database is reasonably small (couple of MBs), it will work just fine. If it is a couple dozens of MB, it shall not pass™
We don't know how 1Password works behind the scenes, but as far as I know, their only user-facing encryption parameter is the master password. Oh, and I really hope 1Password data format is not a compressed XML file and they don't have to load the whole thing in the memory.
