# Configure the KeePass plugin with Remote Desktop Manager

The following steps show how to configure KeePass with Remote Desktop Manager, as well as different ways it can be used as a plugin. The integration of credentials from password managers is only available in the [Team version of Remote Desktop Manager](https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/downloadenterprise/).

1. Install the latest [KeePass 2](https://keepass.info/download.html) version. Note that only the latest version of KeePass is compatible with the Remote Desktop Manager plugins.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="warning" class="hint hint-warning"><p>Note that only the latest version of KeePass is compatible with the Remote Desktop Manager plugins. The installation folder for KeePass should use the default path (e.g., <code>C:\Program Files\KeePass Password Safe 2</code>). This will ensure that the Remote Desktop Manager integration works properly.</p></div>
2. Once the installation is done, create the [KeePass database](https://keepass.info/help/base/firststeps.html).
3. Configure the database.
4. Save the database.
5. Close KeePass.
6. In Remote Desktop Manager, go to ***File*** – ***Settings*** – ***Application*** – ***Paths*** and click ***Configure installation path***.

10. Create a new entry.
11. Select the ***KeePass*** entry, which is under ***Credential management*** – ***Password management***.
12. Select ***Plugin*** from the ***Mode*** dropdown.

    <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>If you select the <em><strong>Direct</strong></em> setting instead, there is no need to install KeePass, and only access to the KDBX file is required.</p></div>

13. It is possible to set the database path by checking the ***Set database path manually*** option.
14. Under the ***Entry*** tab, select the ***Default (specific UUID)*** option in the dropdown.

    <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>It is also possible to use either of these options:- Always Prompt with list ensures that every time the entry is accessed, it will display the entire database, making it possible to select an entry from the list instead of using a fixed KeePass credential entry.</p></div>

* With Name filtering enabled, the entry will use the name (referred to as "Title" in KeePass) of a specific credential entry from the KeePass database. This option can be customized to be stricter by allowing case sensitivity or exact matches only, within the database.

15. Click the ellipsis button next to the ***Uuid*** field.

16. Enter the ***Master password*** to access the KeePass database.
17. In Remote Desktop Manager, the ***KeePass credentials list*** will now show which credentials are available to reference in the KeePass entry.

    ![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/docs_en_kb_KB0041.png)
18. Select the credential that will be referenced and click ***OK***.
19. Click ***OK*** to save the changes and close the entry options window.

### KeePass synchronizer

To centralize or gradually migrate from KeePass, use the KeePass synchronizer located under ***Synchronizer*** – ***KeePass XML*** in Remote Desktop Manager.

![](https://cdnweb.devolutions.net/docs/RDMW6050_2025_3.png)

This feature lets you selectively import entries from a KeePass file into a Remote Desktop Manager workspace (e.g., Devolutions Server or Devolutions Cloud), giving you full control over what and when to sync. Note that the synchronization is one-way, from KeePass to Remote Desktop Manager.
