Frequently Asked Questions

Does KeeForm work on all sites?

KeeForm uses just a simple, but effective heuristic method to automate logins. However for some sites that method doesn't work, but usually it works 99% of the time (at least for my list of logins (currently 250).

Multiple page logins?

Typically you find these kind of login on bank web site. KeeForm does not support "multiple pages" logins. Username and Password have to be on the same page.

Can KeeForm open a new Tab?

KeeForm does not open new pages in a new TAB. KeeForm always opens a new window.

How do I disable KeeForm for some entries?

In KeePass 1.0 you can disable KeeForm for an individual entry by entering the following value into the Notes field: Url-Override: "{URL}". The global setting is stored in the KeePass.ini file.

In KeePass 2.0 you click on Edit Entry -> Properties and enter the value "{URL}" (including the quotes) in the field "Override URL:". The global setting can be found in Tools -> Options -> Override all URLs.

How can I override the global KeeForm settings for some entries?

This is done similar to disabling KeeForm. The only difference is the value for the url override. Examples for different configurations are mentioned below.

I have used KeeForm for Internet Explorer IE8 for a long time, but I noticed that IE9 reacts differently in some cases?

This is a bug. KeeForm always tries to place the cursor into the password field. Unfortunately there is a bug in the tool that KeeForm uses (AutoIt), so that this doesn't work for IE9 (but it works in all other versions). The workaround would be to turn on the "compatibility view" in IE9. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

I installed KeeForm, but it doesn't work?

If KeeForm doesn't open a web site or throws some kind of "access denied" message, then this is usually caused by the security settings/software of your settings. For example Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, and Firewalls might block KeeForm in some form or another. Please check the settings and logs in your system.

Protected Mode in Internet Explorer might also interfere with KeeForm. By default, Protected Mode is enabled for the Internet, Intranet, and Restricted Sites zones. To verify that Internet Explorer is running in Protected mode, look for the words "Protected Mode: On" next to the Web content zone displayed in Internet Explorer's status bar. KeeForm might not work on Vista or Windows 8 with Protected Mode turned on in Internet Explorer. Disable Protected Mode temporarily to see whether it interferes with KeeForm.

There are plenty of ways that to deal with the Protected Mode for KeeForm. Here are a couple of examples:

• Add websites to the Trusted zone to exclude them from Protected Mode
• Run KeePass, KeeForm or KeePass with administrator privileges
• Run IE with administrator privileges
• Disable Protected Mode from Internet Options Security tab (zone by zone)
• Turn off User Account Control will automatically disable Protected Mode
