The autotype thing doesn't really work in qubes because of the domain separation. When you have keepassx open in say vault domain, and then do autotype, it just copies the username/password into vault domain clipboard and then pastes it (also into vault domain), even though your web browser is probably (and should be) running in a different domain. It's a good idea to keep a domain/vm dedicated to keepassx, for security of all your passwords. The vault domain is good for this. It's a bit more of a pain to copy usernames/passwords from keepassx to your web browser or other application in another domain (in a regular linux not using virtualization you can just use autotype key) but it's just a convenience/security tradeoff. So, say you have your keepassx database opened in vault domain, and your web browser on a website in work domain, and you want to log into the website. Here are the steps. 1. click on the entry in vault->keepassx 2. ctrl+b to copy username into vault domain clipboard 3. ctrl+shift+c to copy username from vault domain clipboard to dom0 clipboard 4. click into work->firefox username field 5. ctrl+shift+v to paste username from dom0 clipboard to work domain clipboard 6. ctrl+v to paste username from work domain clipboard to firefox username field 7. click back on the entry in vault->keepassx 8. ctrl+c to copy password into vault domain clipboard 9. ctrl+shift+c to copy password from vault domain clipboard to dom0 clipboard 10. click into work->firefox password field 11. ctrl+shift+v to paste password from dom0 clipboard to work domain clipboard 12. ctrl+v to paste password from work domain clipboard to firefox password field 13. then you can log in This is kinda a pain and it looks long but once you get used to it it only takes a few seconds really. And there's always a tradeoff between convenience and security (qubes doesn't normally allow applications to copy/paste data between domains for security reasons). There may be a script that does the inter-vm copy/paste automatically? Not sure about that, but still this doesn't take very long once you get used to it. See qubes doc for copy/paste between domains: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/copy-paste/ -- Jackie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
