KeePass Plugins That Improve The Password Manager's Functionality
I have been using the KeePass password manager ever since the Last Pass security incident, as it made me move my password manager from the cloud to the local system instead. KeePass is a complete solution, as it not only comes with options to store logins in password databases, but also with additional tools like a password creator, tan wizard, exporting functionality and a plugin system to extend the password manager further.
All KeePass plugins are listed on the plugins website on the official project homepage. Each plugin is listed with its name, a short description, and compatibility information. The makers of KeePass note that plugins are created by third parties, and that this has security implications, as the makers do not check the plugins for malicous code or bugs.
KeePass Plugins
The following KeePass plugins improve the functionality of the password manager. Most plugins need to be moved into the KeePass folder from where they will be automatically picked up on the next restart. To uninstall plugins later, you simply delete the plugins in the folder or move them out of it again.
Plugins that have not been updated for a while are not included, as are plugins that require you to install additional software to function properly.
KeePass Favicon Downloader - This is more of a visual plugin as it adds favicons of websites to the KeePass password listing, at least to logins that have a url listed in the database. It may improve identification, which can be helpful if you have several similar sounding sites in the listing.
KeePass Pronounceable Password Generator - The KeePass password generator is already pretty good, at least at generating random passwords. If you prefer your passwords to be pronounceable to improve memorization, then you may want to check out the pronounceable password generator which adds just that feature to the password manager.
KeeAutoExce - If you are working with multiple password databases then this plugin may come in handy. You can use it to open multiple databases at once.
KP Enhanced List View - Adds inline editing options to KeePass to speed up the editing of fields in the program database.
KeePass Sync - KeePass comes with synchronization capabilities. This plugin adds Amazon S3, DigitalBucket and SFTP support to KeePass.
Database Backup - A plugin to automatically backup the KeePass database. Only needed if you do not use syncing or other means of backup.
Are you using plugins not mentioned here? Let me know about them in the comments.

Does it come back after every “moment” update?
Yeah right.. Like this is going to stop defender from running =) This is comedy gold right here.
no ‘about the author’ paragraph?
For permanent disable defender is if removed complete from system no just change permission folder.
Just this is joke.
simpler, load Autoruns (SysInternals)
– filter “Defender”
– untag all entries
– reboot
nothing has changed since my 1st modification years ago
I wouldn’t disable Defender imho, it has too many hidden roots inside Windows itself. One time I tried to uninstall it using brute force scripts and then the Onedrive feature stopped working definitely. A reinstallation was needed and since those times I prefer to maintain Defender untouched. It’s a better method to install another antivirus and it will disable Defender in a safer and easier mode (e.g., Avast is the best in this way, and also Panda Cloud Free is good too).
U are just * [Editor: removed] thats the problem ;p first of all u shall always debloat windows u shall have max 65 services with your drivers for pc and windows own servs. You didnt know what that script did
You can not stop defender from running in background or remove it without some penalty. All you can do is to limit telemetry.
@borts,
It’s probably Smartscreen which is preventing WD from being disabled. Get rid of that and the problem should be solved: https://thegeekpage.com/disable-windows-defender-smartscreen/#How_to_disable_the_Windows_Defender_SmartScreen_via_Local_Group_Policy_Editor
Remove Windows and go for Linux.
Linux sucks dude. Besides it’s not comparable to Windows, these OSes are in different classes entirely.
I use Linux as my daily driver. It’s far more stable than Windows. When’s the last time you used Linux, 2010?
@basingstoke
You’re right, dude. Bro, linux is just a bunch of code that starts before the OS, dude. Brobrodude, that shit ain’t even got emojis, dudebrodudeman! Dudebro, it’s no way near as cool as Windows with its hardcoded abilities to make money off the user, bro. Yo brodude man, you’re the coolest dude ever man, bro. Dude.
Lol what? Windows 7 doesn’t come with any Emojis
Download Autoruns and remove the checkmark from Windows Defender. It doesn’t remove it, but it will never run. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
Just use “Defender Control”:

it also works on Windows 11 too…
Win Defender, is completly the most succesful free-built in antivirus of Microsoft. Really nice product. Saved my ass a lot of times. Has updated malware database, completly strong defence
from whatever smart screen disables. Or if you want better and more upgrated (paid) program,
you can go further. But defender is always on your side.
Why would one disable Windows (or Microsoft) Defender in the first place?. I consider this to be playing with fire big time. Everybody knows that if one is using another A-V, Defender will be disabled on its own and won’t be in one’s way.
Why would I want to disable Windows Defender in the first place? It’s a great anti virus in my opinion. Been using it since Windows 8 and and never had a problem or a virus. Why mess with a good thing, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
How a ridiculous article!
I am thoroughly stunned.
Why Should You Disable First-Party Windows Defender?
I can only think that it is “malice or perversely intention (want you to buy a third-party AV where you can expect a back margin)” to guide invalidation without showing the premise.
No sane company will use third-party closed source programs (such as AV).
As I thought, “Ghacks Technology News” seems to be coming to downfall.
