How to Set Up Chinese Language and Chrome Auto-Fill in KeePass

KeePass Password Safe is designed to solve the problem of humans forgetting numerous passwords. It features a powerful password generation engine and encrypted storage capabilities, providing a secure password storage space. It supports multiple platforms, is open-source and free, and stores the KeePass database locally. It can be synchronized using tools like DropBox or Jianguoyun.

Set Chinese Language

You can visit the KeePass official website to download the latest client. After installing KeePass, visit http://keepass.info/translations.html to download the Chinese language pack. Place the language pack in the KeePass installation directory, then open KeePass, go to View -> Change Language, and select Chinese.

Install Plugins

KeePass also supports automatic password filling like LastPass, but you need to install additional plugins to enable this. Please download the following tools in order:

1. KeePassHttp.plgx plugin
2. Chrome Extension: ChromeIPass

Close your KeePass client, place the KeePassHttp.plgx plugin into the KeePass Plugins directory (e.g., D:\Program Files (x86)\KeePass Password Safe 2\Plugins), and reopen the KeePass client. The plugin will load automatically.

Establish Connection

1. Click the left mouse button on the ChromeIPass icon on the right side of the address bar while connected to the KeePass database, then select Save chromeIPass Key from the popup menu.
2. Click the blue CONNECT button in the menu interface.
3. KeePass will pop up a dialog showing an "Encryption Key". Enter any name in the area below.
4. After entering the connection name, click SAVE.
5. Return to the KeePass interface and save the database.

Start Using

1. Go to any website and enter your existing username and password to log in.
2. The ChromeIPass icon on the right side of the Chrome browser address bar will turn into a flashing red lock.
3. The first time you click the flashing red lock, a "Redirect Credential Fields" message may appear; ignore it. Click again, and you will see options like New and Update.
4. Click New. A new record will be added to KeePass, and the password will be automatically filled every time you visit this page in the future.
5. Return to the KeePass interface and save the database.

Summary

Setting up and using KeePass can be somewhat complicated. If you prefer not to tinker with configurations, you may consider LastPass. Using password management software helps prevent forgotten passwords and credential stuffing attacks, making your accounts safer.
