| By default this plugin holds an encrypted master password in memory and removes it upon KeePass closing. In order to be able to unlock your database via Windows Hello authentication in between KeePass launches you may check "Store keys in the Windows Credential Manager" on in the Options dialog. This will prompts you for creating a persistent key signed with your biometry via Windows Hello. The key is used to encrypt master passwords for securely storing them in the Windows Credential Manager. |
