== Browser integration ==

== QuickUnlock ==

You should protect your password database with a strong (i.e. random and LONG) password together with upper and lower case as properly as numbers and special characters. Typing such a password on a mobile phone every time you unlock your database is time-consuming and error-prone. The KP2A resolution is QuickUnlock:

* Use a robust password for your database

* Load your database and sort the strong password once. Enable QuickUnlock.

* The application is locked after the time specified in the settings

* If you need to re-open your database, you can type simply a few characters (by default, the final three characters of your password) to unlock quickly and simply!

* If the mistaken QuickUnlock key is entered, the database is locked and the full password is required to re-open.

Is this safe? First: it permits you to use a really robust password, this will increase safety in case somebody gets your database file. Second: If you loose your phone and somebody tries to open the password database, the attacker has exactly one chance to make use of QuickUnlock. When using three characters and assuming 70 characters in the set of possible characters, the attacker has a 0.0003% chance of opening the file. If this sounds still too much for you, select 4 or more characters in the settings.

QuickUnlock requires an icon in the notification area. This is as a result of Android would kill Keepass2Android too usually without this icon. It does not require battery power.
