It will be a maintenance release that fixes a few bugs for Yosemite and iOS8 but if you want some new features, don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

Could you please NOT include entries from the Backup group when doing a search? Or, at least, make it an option. When I search for something, I don’t want to get confused by seeing all old entries that I have changed but I like the backup feature so I don’t want to just delete them all.
Love your app. I get all my friends and family to use it, once I convince them to not use a single password everywhere.
Thanks.
-
KyPass doesn’t include entries from the backup group since a long time ago.
Do you use kdb or kdbx format ?
If it’s kdb, the “Backup” folder at the root is used as recycled bin.
If it’s kdbx, KyPass use the “recycled bin” folder as indicate in KeePass.-
I been using KeePass so long I never noticed the change. Thanks for the quick response.

Kypass companion will not delete anything in the recycle folder, and the folder always sits at the top of the list. In Kypass iOS, it is alphabetized. If you want a permanent recycle folder, would it make sense to put it on the bottom in both apps?
-
Pourrait-on avoir un alias plutôt que le nom du fichier. Particulièrement pour les fichiers chargés à partir du web utilisés en lecture seule.
Dans mon cas, pour des fichiers stockés via Owncloud, voilà que ce que ça donne dans Kypass 3
public.php?service=files&t=2…
public.php?service=files&t=2…
public.php?service=files&t=c…
public.php?service=files&t=9…Merci.

add a default file option (when you open kypass it will open that file by default)
enable the custom attributes so it looks for other attributes then name and password
when you have selected a folder and then select all entries it will not (always) select all entries (sometimes it does nothing) – and it will not deselect the folder (when I’m in a folder and select ‘all entries’ I would assume it will go back to ‘K’)
sometimes the ‘auto-lock’ function does not work -
I would love to see companion run in the menu bar only with mini clipboard mgr so that when you click the entry it copies URL, username, and password onto the temp “clipboard”. And then customizable keyboard shortcuts to access each bit of data. Then browser plugins become a little less important.

Urgent fix needed for serious security problem.
When using Kypass connected to dropbox and Dropbox has a pin number, Kypass will ask you to select a .kdb file, ask for the Keepass password, then it will ask for this pin code, WHICH IS A FOUR DIGIT number. So far so good. But now, if you succeeded to open a Keepass file and close the Kypass program, you will need only the 4-digit pin code in order to access the keepass file after reopening Kypass.Setting timeout to 0 does not help.
Please note, that this makes the program unusable. A four-digit code can too easily be broken!!

Just don’t use 4-digit pin 🙂 4-digit pin is not mandatory. It’s just a way to speed up the opening of the database.
-

I have some ideas:
1. speed up time to show seach field, the animation of show keyboard, open all folders and then go to search mask is too slow for me
2. “back” button contrast is bad on my iphone
3. show password button (after password, not at the bottom) works very bad after last update
4. at bottom buttons to copy password and password, and start a new search would by nice (next to the eye, better then the folder icon with the sub menu)
5. the UI on ipad is a little bit strange (some gfx errors)-
1. Right.. I’m looking how to speed up that.
2. Fixed in v3.4
3. I know 🙁 And it’s ok on iPad.. I don’t know why. I’ll try to fix it.
4. Maybe.. I’ll test it.
5. Everywhere ?

Hi!
Thanks for writing kypass companion – I am using a Mac since three weeks and have gotten rid of the Mono-based version last week, when i discovered your nice program. It is really good to use and quite fast – i have recommended it to some folks, hope they buy it too.
Since you are obviously working on a new release and ask for any feature to be included that is still missing, i just wanted to ask for two additions, that would make (at least my) life somewhat easier.Could you please add an option to automatically open the last / a default kbd or kbdx-file?
I am currently working mainly with a single file and every time kypass companion was closed, i have to re-open this file (at least the path is suggested).Also could you include that the layout of the main window gets saved when kypass companion is closed? the tree menu on the left has some longer entries for me and quite a depth. It is cumbersome to dig through it again after a restart and reposition all panes.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Looking forward to the next version!
Dan-
I hope too 🙂
How do you quit Kypass Companion ? If you quit by pressing cmd-q or select the ‘quit Kypass companion’ in the menu bar, the next time you start Kypass, Kypass will reopen the last database.
Same thing for the layout of the main window.I don’t understand why it doesn’t work.
Contact me via support(at)kyuran.be if you want to debug that with me.-
I have the same issue on my MAC with KyPass. For the last release, Under FILE, MOST RECENT, the choice is BLANK. I end KyPass by selecting QUIT KYPASS COMPANION.
-
-
-
Would it be possible to put autofocus on search-field (looking-glass) at start-up?
-
Good idea..
Usually, when I start KyPass, I do a CMD+F to do the search.
Having the search-field focused is a very good idea 🙂
-
-
Purchased Kypass today.
The computer INSTALLED but also that an error has been made.
Don’t see the icon any were and don’t know what to do. Should I uninstall? Have no clue how to do that!
Please help!-
apple store bug…
Could you delete it and reinstall ?

Hi, here is a small list which you can take into consideration.
When you come back to the app after the password timeout is met, Kypass is asking again for the PIN code but the keypad is not visible at this time. I have to tap into the PIN fields to make the keypad visible which is one tap too much 🙂
The back button (top left) is sometimes dark red on darker red background but I guess that’s what you mean with ‘maintenance’?
It is not possible to scroll through the password field in case it is a very very safe (I mean long) password.
When hitting the search button I get a search box with the focus and the beginning of an alphabetical list below. When tapping on that list the search is canceled and I will be sent back to the group view. In my opinion, it would be nice to be able to scroll through that alphabetical list in case I do not want to do a search.
Thanks for this tool!
-
– password panel will be rewritten (with touch id option)
– color of the back button is fixed in the next release
– I look for the long password field.
– Good idea for the search box.. I’m looking for it too.

Please, add iCloud support.
Thanks.

Hi,
I bought the KyPass Companion. Great app but I have a question. Why does the application want to connect to this website on starting up and what is it trying to do?-
To verify if a new release exists.
-
-
For some reason Kypass Companion goes mental with the CPU when you ‘hide’ it in Mac OS X. I have started minimising instead, but would prefer to hide it. Any chance of a fix?
-
I’ll try top reproduce that.
Thanks for the bug report -
Seconding this! I jump about 20% when I hide the window.
-
Fixed in the next version.

Could you please provide a new link for the Kypass Companion Safari extension? The old link https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/154281/KyPass-Ext.safariextz is not working anymore.
Thanks!
-
Safari extension is not supported anymore..
Not secure enough.
I’m working on a new one but I’m not a safari extension specialist 🙁

Hi,
I am currently using Kypass 3 sync’ed to my synology NAS thanks to WebDAV. The sync is working good but I was wondering if it was possible to protect the settings with a pin or a password. My password to access the WebDAV server is plain text and if not already possible, I think a password protection is necessary for a security application.
Thanks a lot.
JM

I am also using WebDav and support this idea.

I would like fingerprint support on my iPhone 5S instead of 4 digit Pin, would be great!!
And thumbs up for focus on search field -
Hi,
thanks for your great work!
I would love to see an Extension using the new iOS8 extension API so that you can access password entries from the secure keepass Database within Mobile Safari and other apps.
The current update of 1password for example contains such a feature. -
Are there plans to implement TouchID-unlocking with the API?
I’m not sure if this can be done without introducing vulnerability, but it would be great if it can.
-
Could you please add the following features to Kypass 3.4.
I would like to see use of the new IOS 8 API featuresDirect Safari integration
App extensions
Touch ID support-
I agree with you. Those three would make this app awesome!
-
-
And what about the TouchID?
-
Soon 🙂
-
Great to hear, thanks for the reply!
-
-
-
Hey, I think it will be great if you guys would add touch-ID support and maybe something with safari, now that iOS 8 can do that stuff. Touch ID is possible for sure but Safari support I’m not sure about.
-
Haven’t bought this app yet but certainly will once I’m sure it’s gonna have Touch ID support.
-
-
Please provide an IOS Safari extension for direct integration into Safari.
I use the kypass data for several purposes and would like to see a spreadsheet style view of all data records with the ability to sort on each field column.
Thank you.
-
Great app, I use it a lot. The new options iOS offers will certainly make it even more usefull, good to see you’re already working on it.
That said, this is a bit awkward; I’m using Kypass with a webdav connection to my owncloud-cloud and that sometimes breaks. In particular after an upgrade, of iOS or the app, the connection is lost. Removing and re-adding the webdav-connection does sometimes work, but mostly I need to remove the app and re-install it. Would be nice if this could be a bit more robust. -
Would be great, if KyPass 3 (iOS) could add pictures from the camera and add it as an attachment.
Thanks
Tom-
I’m afraid that I’ll increase the database size too much..
-
-
Please sent the update for IOS8 asap, it is not usable at this moment on a IPhone 5
-
Not usable ? I’m still using on my iPhone 5 with ios8.
What’s your problem ?
-
-
Can you integrate the TouchID to unlock KyPass?
-
I’d like to be able to sort Folders in KyPass Companion. Also an option to set the default icon would be nice. Thanks by the way, can’t live w/out this anymore 😉
-
+1 on this features
-
-
Now that apps have access to the touch-device I would really like you to use the fingerprint to unlock my database on the phone instead of entering the master password for each database.
-
It’s already working on my development version. Soon on your iPhone 🙂
-
-
For security reasons I’d like change my database file extension from *.kdbx to something else. But when I try to open that file with KyPass Copanion then application refuses to open it. There’s a message displayed:
“The document “my_file.my_extension” could not be opened. KyPass Companion cannot open files in the “KyPass Companion.app Document” format.”
Does it mean that KyPass recognizes file by the extension only? This is silly.-
It’s due to sandbox restriction in Mac AppStore.
-
-
I would Love to have other ways of adding a keyfile.
I have no computer around that has iTunes installed so i can’t upload the file that way.
-
I would like the ability to set the auto locking of the database to a value lower than 1 minute.
-
One more related auto-locking request: a more specific option to auto-lock the database if kypass companion is not the active window for a certain period of time.
-
KyPass Companion: “field referencing” please.
-
Hi Mike,
I haven’t updated to KyPass v3 yet but I’m considering doing it soon (though it is 5€… )
Have you ever thought about adding Safari (or any other iOs web browser) integration like 1password does (it adds a pass item below share menu) ?Regards
-
Yes. But not yet implemented.
I’ve received my new iPhone yesterday. Time to test 🙂-
Great news !
Two other suggestions, but about Kypass Companion :
I use Keepass on windows and every database is “attached” to a key file so that I don’t need to browse my folders in order to find it. This little thing would help a lot on my Mac.
Being notified about database file changes (before editing) would be great too ! I often keep my database open on both my Mac and my PC and then forget to close & reopen the file before editing it 🙁
For the moment, I get notified once I attempt to save changes…-
I don’t like the first suggestion: it’s not very secure. If the key file is remembered, why do use it ?
For the second suggestion, I have the same problem 🙂 I’ll add this feature in the next version.-
>>> why do use it
I use it because it makes the database more secured. The key file never leaves my computer nor my phone, I just don’t want to browse my folders and sub folders every time I need to open the database.So it is not *less* secured then remembering key/password in Mac OS keyring, is it ?
-
I often wondered why it didn’t remember the key file as well. It doesn’t make anything “more secure”, the documentation on keepass says it best here:
http://keepass.info/help/base/keys.html
From the section “Location”:
——————–
> Location. The point of a key file is that you have something to authenticate with (in contrast to master passwords, where you know something), for example a file on a USB stick. The key file content (i.e. the key data contained within the key file) needs to be kept secret.>> Applicable part: < The point is not to keep the location of the key file secret — selecting a file out of thousands existing on your hard disk basically doesn’t increase security at all, because it’s very easy for malware/attackers to find out the correct file (for example by observing the last access times of files, the recently used files list of Windows, malware scanner logs, etc.). Trying to keep the key file location secret is security by obscurity, i.e. not really effective.

Recently switching to mac, I bought KyPass since it was a port from KeePass which I used in Windows. I’m in no way a novice to OS X, but for the life of me I cannot get KyPass to work maybe someone here has seen this behaviour before and can show me the light..
I’m using Yosemite (GM) – appreciate there is work in progress to fix some bugs to support Yosemite.
Start KyPass -> Click New Document. Enter password, repeat and select a key file – it just defaults to an iCloud location I accept the default choice and I”m presented with the default entries (which, on a slight tangent, I cannot delete which is annoying, even if they are in recycle bin). I click Save, chose a filename and once saved I close the app. Start the app back up, open the file I just created. Enter the password and immediately I get “Invalid Password!”. I try the whole process again avoiding iCloud or online storage and same problem persists. Since “Help isn’t available for KyPass Companion”, I thought I would ask you good people here.
Many thanks – Andy
-
When you open the database again, do you also enter the key file ?
The encryption is made from the combinaison of ‘password’ and ‘key file contains’. If you don’t want to re-enter the key file each time, just don’t use key file and only a password.-
I was consistently using the password and keyfile. Anyway, I reverted to just the password and its working as expected now
Many thanks for your help

What about fingerprint on new versions?

Hi everyone, any news on TouchID? And also iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen sizes?
We love the app by the way!!!-
Following 2 improvements would make KyPass perfect for my iPhone 6:
* support for TouchID
* support of iPhone 6 screen size
I know first one was announced begin October already, but no news so far.
I hope second one also made it to the list of new improvements in the next version.Keep up the good work, KyPass is anyway one of the few apps I use every day !
-
-
In your twitter post on 3 October 2014, you wrote “TouchId for #KyPass is working now ! Expect a release in a few days 🙂 http://www.kyuran.be“. Two months has passed and I was wondering if you could give us an update.
As always, I appreciate your hard work on these updates and will do whatever I can to help support you! THANKS!!!
-
A lot of things is added in this version.. and a lot of bug.
I’ve finished the next release of KyPass Companion. I’m now fixing the bug in KyPass iOS and release it soon.-
Nearly 3 months ago, it sounded like you were getting ready to release a new KyPass for iOS with TouchID support. I’m still waiting patiently, but I was wondering if you could please provide a status update.
-
Status provided.. On the way 🙂
-
-
-
-
Any chance to have ownCloud support? TouchID?
Thanks 🙂
-
I’m using Kypass together with my owncloud to store the Keepass-file, since it has build in webdav support.
I’d love to have a keyboard shortcut for Quick Add.
I just bought this app.
When using larger font size under Settings, General, Accessibility, Larger Text, the rows of text are clipped at the top and bottom in KyPass 3. Would you please vertically expand the rows so the text isn’t clipped? Those of us that are older need to use the larger text. 🙂
Thank you.
Google drive sync is broken again on KyPass iOS v3.3 since I updated my devices to iOS 8. Dang! This is a big differentiator for your app… I dislike and don’t use Dropbox. Please fix it (again!) Thank you so much!
In addition to TouchID support, I’d love to see a password generator, with configurable options (even though a mix of upper case, lower case, numbers and specials characters with length 8 is good enough for most websites’ requirements).
-
It’s already exist 🙂
Would love to see onedrive support
-
OneDrive with two way sync would be great
Just downloaded kypass 3 and kypass companion. unpleasantly surprised to not find anything about importing from keychain. No option, no help. Can you give us any details on that? I’m not willing to import my 275+ pw by hand.
-
Apple does not allow to export all the entries directly.
You have to allow 275 times the export.. It’s not very user-friendly :/
Just to share an issue I reported several months ago which hasn’t been fixed to date: keyword search doesn’t look into URLs at all. Domain names are an important source for me to find an entry, so I hope this will be fixed soon.
Thinking of buying, will safari extensions be coming to this version or will it be a whole new app? Don’t want to buy twice
-
Safari extension doesn’t depend of KyPass Companion. It depends on keepasshttp that does already exists in KyPass Companion.
And all the extension are free 🙂
Hi there. I would love to see automatic database reloading if the on-disk file changes. Alternatively, I would love to see auto-merge if I save and the disk copy has been changed since the database was loaded. This will be particularly useful for users who sync using Dropbox or some other file syncing service.
Thanks for the great product!
Also, for some reason, I can’t load my user and pass into chase.com. Maybee it’s a bug. Not really sure.
-
On-disk file change was added in the next release.
Auto-merge is more complicated 🙂 But it’s in the todolist.
Hello, I’ve just configured WebDAV on Kypass for iPhone and it’s working very well. I’m accessing my webdav storage via VPN when I’m on the road but I’m able to open my kdbx file even if there’s no VPN connection established (should connecting to a private IP address if VPN is established) and I’m not at home on my wifi.
Changes at the keepass file in that case (assuming I’m working on a cached file in that moment) will be overwritten next time the webdav is available (wifi or vpn).
So if anyone is using webdav he should only change the file if the webdav connection is available. Could you confirm this?
Hey Redbug,
The new Dark Menu bar option in Yosemite makes the left hand menu of KyPass Companion on OSX completely unreadable due to the now-extreme low contrast.
You’ll probably want to have an option to change the background color…or change it completely by default.
-
Bug fixe version was sent to Apple
Kypass Update for MAC:
Use your app all the time. Great job but app needs a face lift, especially with Yosemite. Video issues – cannot see title text and if I could the font the app uses is way to small for my old eyes. Give us a few font choices – color & size.
Thanks much!!
-
Just wait next release in a few days 🙂
