This option is intended for programmatically passing the password to KeePass. When passing the -pw-stdin option, KeePass reads the password from the StdIn stream. Using the -pw: option is not recommended, due to security reasons (the operating system allows reading the command line options of other applications). If your password contains a space, you must enclose it in quotes. Note that there must be no space between the ':' and the password. In order to pass 'abc' as password, you would add the following argument to the command line: -pw:abc. Passwords can be passed using the -pw: option. If the path contains a space, it must be enclosed in quotes ("). The database file location is passed as argument. The prefixes are equivalent it doesn't matter which one you use.ĭatabase file. On Windows, a slash (/) is another alternative. Switches can be either prefixed using a minus (-) or two minus characters (-). You can pass a file path in the command line in order to tell KeePass to open this file immediately after startup.

Works in both Linux Mint & Kali Plus windows!
