Dmenu/Rofi frontend for Keepass databases

Keepmenu

Fully featured Bemenu/Dmenu/Wmenu/Fuzzel/Rofi//Wofi/Yofi frontend for autotype and managing of Keepass databases.

Inspired in part by Passhole, but more dmenu and less command line focused.

Installation

pip install --user keepmenu

Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your $PATH. Run keepmenu and enter your database path, keyfile path, and password.

For full installation documention see the [installation docs][docs/install.md].

keepmenu's Issues

IndexError: list index out of range

Hi I've installed keepmenu in my system because I think it is a great idea, but I am having problems running it.

Distro: Ubuntu 17.10 x64 updated.

What happens:

1. type keepmenu in a terminal
2. dmenu opens with a blue background and white foreground label entries
3. start typing in dmenu, nothing happens neither in dmenu nor terminal output
4. type something that actually may exist in the database, press enter:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/keepmenu", line 279, in <module>
    run()
  File "/usr/local/bin/keepmenu", line 263, in run
    keepass = open_database([i for i in databases if i[0] == sel.strip()][0])
IndexError: list index out of range

What could be happening?

can't make it to work with rofi

Hi there,

it's really helpful the tool very appreciated. I'm a rofi user but can't make it to work with the example in the .ini you leave. I've tried many different things but I get this error:

`└──╼ $ cat ~/.config/keepmenu/config.ini
[dmenu]
dmenu_command = rofi -width 30

[dmenu_passphrase]
nf = #222222
nb = #222222
rofi_obscure = True

[database]
database_1 = /path/to/mydb.kdbx
pw_cache_period_min = 180
autotype_default = {USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}
`

I've tried calling as the belo without success:
keepmenu
rofi -modi "keepass:keepmenu" -show keepass -run-command 'keepmenu'

Would it be please possible on how to properly setup ?

Thanks in advace,
Julio

Fine-grained control over password generation

Hey all,

is there interest for a more fine-grained control over the password generation?

On some sites, especially non-english ones, there are specific requirements for the special characters used in the password. The current implementation only allows to pick all or none.

I think it would be preferable to be able to set those via the config file or even in rofi/dmenu. I'd help with the implementation as well if my python skills are up to the task.

Wayland autotype not possible

I'm currently using Sway and was hoping to be able to use keepmenu to input passwords, however it looks like it's impossible to use autotype on wayland since autotype is currently implemented using PyUserInput, which uses xlib, which can't pass through to wayland even when using dmenu-wayland.

Would it be possible to switch from using PyUserInput to something a bit friendlier to different display server protocols, such as evemu which works on both wayland and x11? Here's a quick tutorial that has a pretty straightforward example, and I believe it could be pretty simple to swap in, although I haven't looked through how keepmenu currently does things to know how easy it really would be.

Edit: After a bit more looking another possibility would be ydotool

Thanks!

[request] Update AUR package

There was a problem you solved last year, about entries being typed twice. I would like to have it solved also when I install the package from AUR. Could you please make an update there when you get some time?

Already thankful!

[Feature Request] Feedback

It would be nice to have feedback for some incorrect actions. For example, if we enter the wrong passphrase, it should give some sort of message like "Incorrect Passphrase" rather than saying nothing and immediately exiting. This should also apply when the user has incorrectly configured settings (syntax errors and what not).

[Request] support direct bind to view?

hi again

I wonder if its possible to add a switch (ie keepmenu -d?) to launch keepmenu direct into view mode without first pressing `view/type individual entries'

for me i view alot of info in entries throughout the day and it could make life just a tad easier :D

thx

Obscure password entry in 'Edit Entries' mode?

How hard is it to add a feature to obscure the password for an entry when you go into 'Edit Entries' mode so it's not visible by default? For instance, if you were forced to navigate to the Password entry itself and hit Enter to be able to view it. Perhaps this could be a config option if folks wouldn't want that behavior by default?

'future' module not found

Recently when I was using keepmenu, I noticed that it just refused to start. When I ran keepmenu directly in my terminal, it said:

  File "/usr/bin/keepmenu", line 26, in <module>
    from pykeepass import PyKeePass
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pykeepass/__init__.py", line 2, in <module>
    from .pykeepass import PyKeePass
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pykeepass/pykeepass.py", line 8, in <module>
    from future.utils import python_2_unicode_compatible
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'future'

I have no idea why this happened. I can only guess that I updated my Arch system via sudo pacman -Syu and that might have updated PyKeepass in some way? I updated my system again via yay -Syu (for the AUR), but that didn't seem to update keepmenu. In any case, I found the solution already: I just need to install the future package via pip3 install --user future. However, I am concerned that I had to go out of my way to install something just so keepmenu wouldn't break. I would imagine Arch's package manager would have managed the dependencies for me.

I just wanted to let you know. Perhaps this dependency issue can be worked out?

AutoType keyboard layout

Hey, I'm using a German keyboard layout (de-latin1-nodeadkeys) and keepmenu is auto-typing my usernames and passwords wrong.

An email address like [email protected] is entered as user"domain.com. The " on a German keyboard is typed as [shift]+[2], that's the location where @ is on an american layout IIRC.

I didn't find a related setting in the config.ini, is it possible to use keepmenu with a German keyboard layout?

Make dmenu_command work with `sh -c "dmenu (...)"` and other non-dmenu commands that end up running dmenu

Hi there! I was looking around for dmenu-based keepass interfaces and found this,
which looks like exactly what I was looking for; but I have an issue with keepmenu.

The issue for is on how dmenu_cmd
parses dmenu_command. For some context, I want to set the font size by hostname.
The ini configuration file format does not support this, so I thought that
i'd just set it in dmenu_command. So, I tried something like this:

dmenu_command = sh -c 'dmenu -fn "$([ "$(hostname)" = "machine1" ] && {echo font1; exit; }; [ "$(hostname)" = "machine2" ] && {echo font2; exit; }; echo fallback)"'

This works in the command line, but not in dmenu_command.
I tried this with various quoting patterns, but to no avail. I took a look at
the code, and found out that dmenu_cmd blindly assumes that the first part
of dmenu_command is dmenu or rofi.
This is rather unintuitive and makes it impossible to do what I wanted.

I therefore suggest that dmenu_cmd see dmenu_command as magic and not parse it,
and rather only do a substitution with some magic string to insert arguments
like ´-l´, allowing the user to place the magic string where appropriate.
If you don't want to make this magic string mandatory, then it would be possible
to assume that it'll work by appending the args to dmenu_command.

I'm aware that it's possible to write a wrapper script to dmenu, but making
a file for something that can be done inline sounds like a script that shouldn't be.

Support dmenu2 -mask option

-mask in dmenu2 is like -password for rofi.

autotype confuses "_" and "—"

I'm new to i3 so maybe this is just a configuration problem. If so, sorry for cluttering the bugtracker.

When I'm performing an autotype with keepmenu any "_" is replaced with "—" and I'm unable to login.

I'm using arch and have installed keepmenu from AUR.

In my i3 config I set my keymap to neo using:

exec setxkbmap de neo

Furthermore I'm using dmenu_command = /usr/bin/rofi in the config.ini

some usability requests

Thx for this great app

I have some requests to make keepmenu work similarly to rofi-pass which is very advanced

1. dont hit enter by default? again for security reasons
2. establish a standard for autotype sequences similar to rofi-pass perhaps?
3. a way to type certain fields, like password only or username onlye.g. useful for git prompts

thx so much!

looks cool, have you thought of Rofi support?

Hi

looks cool, have you thought of Rofi (a modern dmenu replacement) support?

pykeepass_cache library

I've been working on a library that transparently wraps pykeepass and temporarily holds a database open in a background process. I thought it might be useful for keepmenu.

Also any feedback would be appreciated.

Keepmenu crashes after entering Autotype sequence

After specifying an Autotype sequence for a particular entry ({PASSWORD}), keepmenu just crashed. I wasn't able to relaunch it either by calling keepmenu in the terminal. I was only able to use keepmenu again after logging out and logging back in. (EDIT: I have to reboot my computer entirely, actually) This happens every time I try to change the autotype sequence for an entry. This is very similar to issue #23.

I have sent my config file and strace output to you by email, as I'd rather not have them available publicly.

Thanks for your great work!

Have option for maximum lines instead of fixed number of lines

When specifying the number of lines with the l option, the menu seems to have a fixed number of lines no matter what, even when there are only 1 or 2 options to choose from (e.g. when specifying whether to manually enter or generate password or enter the passphrase). This doesn't look too good because it wastes space. It would be better if the option was changed to be a max lines option, so that the menus are only as big as they need to be, but also not exceeding a certain number.

EDIT:

OS: Arch Linux 64-bit

I tried modifying the lines parameter in my rofi config file, but didn't seem to affect the interface for my keepmenu window.

Add "create database" feature

I really like keepmenu because it does pretty much everything I want with my KeePass database. However, the only thing that keeps me from using it as my sole KeePass desktop client is the fact that it cannot create or manage databases (to my knowledge). For example, if the database file specified in the config file doesn't exist, then keepmenu should prompt you to create it and insert the relevant info (master password, etc.). I would like for there to be some way to create and manage databases so I can use this as my sole desktop client for KeePass.

Show attributes

It appears I'm not able to autofill, copy or view (protected) attributes.
Is this something that can be supported?

Autotype doesn't work about a quarter of the time

When using Qutebrowser, I noticed that autotyping my password failed about a fourth of the time; Sometimes the password had most of its characters turned uppercase, while also turning characters such as 2 into @ and 0 into ). For example: 2example43 -> @Example43. It seems like the autotyping mechanism thinks that the Shift key is held down or the CAPS lock is on, even though it actually isn't when I am autotyping it. Interestingly enough, this is only a problem inside Qutebrowser.

However, I also noticed that when I did have CAPS lock on or held down the Shift key, the same result occurred everywhere.

I'm wondering if there is a fix for this problem or perhaps maybe there is something wrong with Qutebrowser in how it somehow thinks that the Shift key is down or the CAPS lock key is on.

Connection refused error on launch

Hi,
First thank you for your tool, I can't use it yet, but it looks like a really nice piece of software. The reason why I can't use it is because jwhen running keepmenu just after typing my database password I get the following error:

I am using archlinux and installed keepmenu directly thanks to your aur package. Do you have an idea of what is going wrong with my setup?

multiple Databases

Is it possible to have multiple databases loaded parallel? I always have to kill the deamon and load the other DB, it would be nice to just be able to search them both. Is that possible and I just missed how?

Ability to specify password command with parameter

I have stored my keepass masterpasswords in pass, and use gpg-agent.
I'd like to retrieve my passwords like this:

database_1 = ~/…
password_cmd = /usr/local/bin/gopass keepass-pw1
database_2 = ~/…
password_cmd = /usr/local/bin/gopass keepass-pw2
…

This would ease the usage of keepmenu a alot for me. Thx for this awesome app !

a way to remember password/key for a user defined time?

Been using keepmenu over the last few days and really love it

but it seems that each time i launch it i have to enter again my password/key

is it possible to remember the password for X minutes (or user defined period) so i dont have to re-enter the password 20 times an hour :D

thx!

How do I use keepmenu to copy password to clipboard ?

When I run keepmenu and select the wanted entry, keepmenu won't copy the password to the clipboard.
Instead, it will output the USERNAMEPASSWORD together, without a seperator.

How do I use keepmenu to only copy the password to the clipboard ?

Editing empty passwords

It seems like when I attempt to edit empty passwords (i.e. the entry has already been created, but is empty), keepmenu crashes. I looked at the code in edit_entry, but I don't think I understand why

if field == 'password':
    sel = kp_entry.password

is above

edit_b = sel.encode(ENC) + b"\n"

... so I'm creating this issue instead!

The sel.encode(ENC) is the line it's crashing on because sel is None.

keepmenu --help should show help

keepmenu --help launches dmenu, it should show the help.

[request] Lock the database after user configurable timeout

Leaving the database open in memory can have security implications. Most KeePass clients allow to lock the database after a configurable timeout.

I would really like to be able to configure a user defined timeout after which the database needs to be reopened before use. I think many other users would also be interested in this feature.

Add and use as rofi mod

Is there a way to integrate keepmenu into a rofi mod script?
For this to work I'd need keepmenu to have a command to list all entries from the already logged in database, and further more start to autotype when for example the exact name of an entry is given.

The outcome would be to autotype directly from within rofi.

[request] allow for environment variables in config

I would like to include environment variables in the config.ini file. I often find myself adding a bunch of long filepaths or complicated variables that might change in the future, so this would be really convenient for me.

For example:

[some_section]
main_folder = $HOME/main
mountain_picture = $WALLPAPERS/mountain.jpg

I already have an idea of how you could accomplish this. Basically, you could just subclass BasicInterpolation and just expand the variables before the value is accessed:

import configparser, os
class EnvInterpolation(configparser.BasicInterpolation):

    def before_get(self, parser, section, option, value, defaults):
        return os.path.expandvars(value)

And then you would just initialize the config parser as:

parser = configparser.ConfigParser(interpolation=EnvInterpolation())

You could even subclass ExtendedInterpolation if you want the user to access variables from other sections (although the interpolation syntax is a bit different). I would really appreciate if you did this.

Have inactive timeout instead of just fixed timeout

I think it would be really helpful if keepmenu would remember the password for a period of time after last accessing keepmenu rather than a fixed amount of time as it is right now. I find myself running into situations where I am constantly using keepmenu in a 5 min period only to find myself faced with another master password prompt even though I was using it a second ago. This breaks my concentration. I could just increase the cache time period right now, but I don't think that's ideal.

For example:
inactive_timeout=1
If it's been 1 minute since you last accessed keepmenu, then ask for the master password again.

License issues

pykeepass is GPL3 so I think keepmenu should be, too.

I personally don't really care, but I thought you should know.

keepmenu with challenge response?

the title says it all, is there any way to integrate challenge response in keepmenu? or is this already working?
thanks

Special Characters are wrong

I added an entry (via keepasx2) to my database, where the pasword ist ???. Keepmenu does output &&& in that case.

I also tried other special characters and they all get transformed into other special characters.

Error: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'

System: Arch Linux 4.19 LTS

Every time I try to open keepmenu (edit: after typing in my database password), I get the error message stating 'bytes' object has no attribute 'encode'. This happened after I recently updated my version of keepmenu to the latest version (r97.6634843-1 from AUR). I haven't updated in quite some time. Not quite sure what is causing this issue.

I have already tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it via pip. (pip3 install --user keepmenu). Then I edited the config file to change the database path to my database. I had the exact same error with that config.

Add KeeAgent (SSH keys) support

Hi @firecat53,

first off: I found this little gem while looking for Keepass-based autotyping solutions that work on wayland, and I was blown away. Keepmenu is amazing! Thank you very much for sharing it! :)

There is only one feature I found missing for me so far: I still have to open KeepassXC in the background in order for my SSH-Keys to be added to my ssh-agent session. It'd be great if keepmenu could do this part, too.

In order to avoid appearing like a total freeloader, I've had a look into how the SSH Agent protocol and the KeeAgent settings work and come up with my own little prototype to deal with them. I've checked them in over at: https://github.com/mfrischknecht/python-keeagent

There are some caveats with this prototype so far, but on the whole, it seems to work. Since I had problems with pycryptodome (and pycrypto itself is hopelessly out of date), pyca/cryptography to me seemed like the best library option to deal with the key files. It can't deal with ed25519 keys (yet), but I have my hopes up that this will change soon. However, the dependency on pyca/cryptography would mean that python 3.2 and 3.3 wouldn't be supported anymore. Also, I've only tested the KeeAgent code on Keepass databases of version 4.x (created by KeepassXC) so far, but for those, it seems to work nicely. Also, so far, my prototype is read-only for those entries.

I've also found this site which details the option to store binaries in the 'inner header' of Keepass databases, but I haven't been able to figure out how to access that one so far.

Would you consider integrating KeeAgent-functionality into keepmenu anyway? If so, should I attempt to prepare a pull request for that?

Cheers,
Manuel

Setting empty Notes field

If I attempt to remove a Notes field via opening it in an editor and fully deleting it, keepmenu stops responding and I get:

Process DmenuRunner-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/keepmenu", line 1258, in <module>

TypeError: bad argument type: NoneType(None)

If I'm reading the pykeepass source code right, it doesn't look like it supports either setting the notes field to None or deleting it entirely.

Autotype setting from KeePass

Hey, cool stuff.
First Question, am I missing something or is the default autotype behaviour always username tab password? Set Autotype sequence from within KeePass doesn't seem to have an effect.

Can't use notes field

For some reason, whenever I try to edit the notes field of a particular entry, not only does the editor (which I chose as gui_editor = vscodium ) not show up, but keepmenu exits and doesn't come back until after I reboot my machine. I keep trying to invoke keepmenu via a keybinding, but it refuses to show up. I typed "keepmenu" in the terminal it seems to immediately terminate without showing any output. I tried to kill the keepmenu daemon via pkill keepmenu, which had no effect, which means it probably stopped running. I even tried tried uninstalling and then reinstalling keepmenu, but I still can't open it. Again, it took a reboot to get it to start working again. This is rather frustrating, and I hope that this bug can be fixed.

System: Arch Linux, Linux Version: 4.19 LTS, using i3 Window Manager
Invoking keepmenu by: Using i3 keybinding (alt+shift+space)

Keepmenu Config:

[dmenu]
dmenu_command = rofi -config ~/main/configs/rofi -dmenu -normal-window 
l = 12

[database]
pw_cache_period_min = 5
gui_editor = vscodium
type_library = pyuserinput
autotype_default = {PASSWORD}
database_1 = ~/main/configs/passwords.kdbx

Stop daemon when password expires?

Maybe daemon should just stop when password expires? Instead of adding option to kill daemon with list of databases. Need to think on this.

View/Type individual entries inputs entry twice

Hello! I'm using Arch Linux and installed keepmenu from AUR. Standard inserting ("username\tpassword") is working fine, but when I try to type individual entries with keepmenu, they are input twice.

I recently formated my system (and I'm still using Arch), but the problem persists (it has never worked well for me).

Am I missing something?

By the way, thank you, It's nice that I can access my password in the way you've implemented keepmenu!
