| # Using Stored Passwords How to transfer passwords stored in KeePass to other applications.

There are many different methods to copy passwords stored in KeePass to other applications:

- Context-Sensitive Entry List
- Drag&Drop
- Auto-Type
- KeeForm and Other Plugins

## Context-Sensitive Entry List

Depending on which field you double-click in the entry list (main window), different actions are performed:

- Title field: open the entry editing dialog for this entry.
- User name field: copy user name to the clipboard.
- Password field: copy password to the clipboard.
- URL field: open URL.
  If you hold down the ``Shift`` key while double-clicking, the URL is copied to the clipboard instead. This behavior can be reversed by turning on the option 'Copy URLs to clipboard instead of opening them'.
- Notes field: copy notes to the clipboard.
- Attachment field: [1.x] copy to clipboard, [2.x] open in internal editor / viewer.
- Other fields (like time and UUID fields): copy the contents of that field to the clipboard.

## Drag&Drop

You can drag&drop all fields of KeePass entries into other windows:

## Auto-Type

Auto-Type is a powerful feature that sends simulated keypresses to other applications.

You can find more details about it here: Auto-Type documentation page.

## KeeForm and Other Plugins

There are a lot of plugins available integrating KeePass directly with other applications. For example, KeeForm (for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox) allows completely automatic filling of webforms.

You can find these integration plugins on the KeePass plugins page.
