keepassfunctions 1.1

A collection of functions to operate with a KeePass-database

KeePass AutoType Helper

This Python script allows you to retrieve credentials from a KeePass database and automatically type them into applications or fields using a custom AutoType sequence.

It integrates with:

• pykeepass — to read entries from a KeePass database (.kdbx).
• pywinauto — to send keystrokes and control windows.
• dynamicinputbox — to prompt for KeePass database password interactively.

Features

• Prompt for KeePass database password in a secure dialog.
• Retrieve a full KeePass entry or just username/password.
• Support for {USERNAME}, {PASSWORD}, {URL}, {NOTES}, and {TITLE} placeholders in AutoType sequences.
• Handle special keys ({ENTER}, {TAB}, {F1}, etc.).
• Handle delays ({DELAY 1000} for 1 second pause).
• Support virtual key codes ({VKEY 0x41} for A).
• Handle modifier keys ({CTRL}, {ALT}, {SHIFT}, {WIN}).

Requirements

Install dependencies via pip:

pip install pykeepass pywinauto dynamicinputbox

Usage

1. Prepare your KeePass database

Make sure your KeePass .kdbx file exists (default: ~/Pwd_Db.kdbx).

Add entries with:

• Title (used to look up the entry).
• Username and Password fields.
• AutoType sequence (e.g., {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}). This is optional for the entry, but needed for the use_KeePass_sequence method.

2. Import and use in Python

from keepass_autotype import get_credentials, use_KeePass_sequence

Retrieve only username & password

username, password = get_credentials( "My Entry Title" )

Retrieve full entry and auto-type it

use_KeePass_sequence( "My Entry Title" )

Default values

Database file: Pwd_Db.kdbx

Database path: ~ (home directory)

These can be replaced with: get_credentials("My Entry Title", file="Custom.kdbx", path="/path/to/db")

AutoType Sequence Syntax

Supported placeholders:

• {USERNAME} — Entry's username.
• {PASSWORD} — Entry's password.
• {URL} — Entry's URL.
• {NOTES} — Entry's notes.
• {TITLE} — Entry's title.

Special commands:

• {ENTER}, {TAB}, {ESC}, {F1} ... {F12}, {UP}, {DOWN}, {LEFT}, {RIGHT}.
• {DELAY 1000} — Pause for 1000ms.
• {VKEY 0x41} — Press virtual key (hex code).
• {CTRL}, {ALT}, {SHIFT}, {WIN} — Press and hold modifier.
• {CTRLUP}, {ALTUP}, {SHIFTUP}, {WINUP} — Release modifier.

Example

In KeePass, set the entry's AutoType sequence to:

{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

Then in Python:

use_KeePass_sequence("My Entry Title")

The script will:

• Prompt for your KeePass database password.
• Retrieve the username and password from the given entry.
• Automatically type them into the currently focused application.

Security Notice

This script sends keystrokes to the active window — make sure the correct window is focused before running.

The KeePass database password is entered via a masked prompt but is kept in memory during runtime.

Use responsibly in trusted environments.
