unlock database for http basic auth

Open fallingcats opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Expected Behavior

Keepass prompts me to unlock the database to retrieve credentials for authentication or at least autofill once manually unlocked.

Current Behavior

Keepass does not provide a way to unlock the database for http basic auth credentials, and will not autofill if it is unlocked manually.

Possible Solution

Since I would expect that it is not possible to customize the auth request popup keepass should probably immediately try to unlock the database. Possibly also allow to ignore requests from certain websites.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. lock database
  2. open website that requests http basic auth
  3. (optionally) manually unlock database
