PowerShellKeePass

PowerShell 5 module for KeePass automation and manipulation

Introduction

This module allows for the manipulation of a KeePass database that can be incorporated into scripts and toolsets for automation. It could also be used as a command line tool if you don't want to use the GUI. The only requirement for this module is that the latest KeePass version 2.xx is installed. Get it from https://keepass.info/download.html

In the \tests folder there is a Pester script that will run through most the functions of the module and ensure that they are all working correctly.

Getting Started

1. Download and copy the module to the default module path, usually C:\Program Files\Windows PowerShell\Modules\
2. Import the module using Import-Module -Name 'PowerShellKeePass'
3. Initialize the KeePass Library using Initialize-KeePassModule. If you have installed KeePass into its default folder, you can just type it as shown. If KeePass is installed elsewhere, you'll need to add a path to the command: Initialize-KeePassModule -Path 'path\to\KeePass.exe'
4. Start using the module in your scripts!

Highlights

Group TreeView

In case you can't remember the group structure of your KeePass database, you can show the Tree view simple with the command Get-KeePassGroupTreeView -KeePassDatabase $kpdb. The treeview for the default KeePass database is...

ExampleDatabase
├─ E: Sample Entry
├─ E: Sample Entry #2
├─ General
├─ Windows
├─ Network
├─ Internet
├─ eMail
└─ Homebanking

Output and -AsObject

The default output of the module is to return a PSCustomObject containing everything available for the entires or groups you are requesting, however the default view is to show only the Title, UserName, Url and LastModified fields. However, this is just a view and all other properties of the object are available.

Title           UserName   Url                                        LastModified
-----           --------   ---                                        ------------
Sample Entry    User Name  https://keepass.info/                      01/01/2020 00:00:00
Sample Entry #2 Michael321 https://keepass.info/help/kb/testform.html 01/01/2020 00:00:00

The full details of an object would look something like this

Uuid            : 68D516A7434D4744AC09F68501B5765F
Title           : Sample Entry

Example 1 - New Database

This example will create a new KeePass database and populate it with an example entry.

Import-Module -Name 'PowerShellKeePass'
Initialize-KeePassModule
$kpdb = (New-KeePassDatabase -FilePath 'C:\ExampleDatabase.kdbx' -MasterPassword 'Passw0rd!23' -KeeFile 'C:\KeeFile.txt')
New-KeePassEntry -KeePassDatabase $kpdb -Title 'New Entry #1' -UserName 'Bob' -Icon 'Book'
Close-KeePassDataBase -KeePassDatabase $kpdb

Example 2 - Open Existing Database

This example will open an existing database and search for a specific entry.

Import-Module -Name 'PowerShellKeePass'
Initialize-KeePassModule
$kpdb = (Open-KeePassDatabase -FilePath 'C:\ExampleDatabase.kdbx' -MasterPassword 'Passw0rd!23' -KeeFile 'C:\KeeFile.txt')
Find-KeePassEntry -KeePassDatabase $kpdb -SearchFor 'Sample Entry' -Field Title
