This does not happen to v2.7.7 which is the version I have to come back. I couldn't find what you mentioned in the change log.

This was implemented a long time ago. We didn't change anything about it in 2.7.7 or 2.7.8.

I assert to you this does not happen to version 2.7.7 & a few versions before.

Please see the screen capture video. I can leave longer but will affect the video size.

This feature was actually broken in 2.7.7 and I fixed it for 2.7.8. It's been working for all versions prior to 2.7.7. It's a security feature.

Thank you for your response. It's good to know it's been fixed.

However, it appears that feature does not work in versions 2.7.5 and 2.7.6 on my end. You can watch the video I sent.

For those of us who use the Diceware approach, 30 seconds is insufficient to enter the master password. Although KeePassXC's character input speed has been quite helpful, I still need to choose at least ten entries to enter the master password.

It would be ideal if there was an option to change the time it takes to clear the master password.

Hope you can assist. Thank you.

Why do you need more than 30 seconds to type your password? Even with slow typing speeds it shouldn't take that long to type 7-10 words.

I utilize KeePassXC's auto-type speed to enter the master password. I, like you, use ten words to remember my master password, however my real master password is somewhat weird.

1. 66635 zebra
2. 66636 zen
3. 66641 zeppelin
4. 66642 zero
5. 66643 zestfully
6. 66644 zesty
7. 66645 zigzagged
8. 66646 zipfile
9. 66651 zipping
10. 66652 zippy

My master password comprises of the above ten words.

1. Locate entry 66635 and use auto-type to enter its password into the master password.
2. Next is entry title 66636, and so on till 66652.

As you can see, I had to switch between the two KeePassXC programs to enter the master password. So I only had 3 seconds to find and enter the proper entry number (out of 7776 entries). But I failed to mention that I also utilize key file. It takes considerably longer to identify the correct location containing the key file.

That sounds incredibly over-engineered. I suggest you just use a normal 10-word passphrase and remember it, write it down somewhere safe, or store it in your other password database. You don't have to torture yourself with this theatre. It doesn't do anything except wasting your time.

Or use auto open feature since you are going from one database to another anyway

I will consider this. Thanks.

Thank you for the instructions. My Master DB uses this feature to open other necessary DBs.

I and many others are grateful to your team for creating a great product. Wishing everyone good health and success.

Btw, thank you for reporting this you did find an actual bug, fix is in the linked PR.
