In order to automate KeePass, you need either the KPScript tool
or PowerShell.
- You can find the latest version of KPScript on the KeePass
plugins page.
The
KPScript.exe file needs to be copied into the directory
where KeePass is installed (which contains the KeePass.exe file).
- A suitable PowerShell version is included in Windows 10/11.
On other operating systems, you may need to install it first.
There are three ways to automate KeePass:
- KPScript - Single Command Operations:
KPScript can be invoked using single commands. By passing the database location,
its key, a command and eventually some parameters, simple operations like adding
an entry can be performed. The syntax is very simple, no scripting knowledge is
required. This method is ideal when you quickly want to do some small changes to
the database. It is not recommended when you need to perform many operations, because
for each command the database needs to be loaded from file, decrypted, modified,
encrypted and written back to file.
- KPScript - KPS Script Files:
These files are a lot more powerful than single command operations, but are also
more complicated.
You need to have experience in C# programming and the KeePass 2.x internals.
- PowerShell:
With PowerShell, you can load the KeePass.exe assembly and do
everything that KeePass can do.
