Magikeyboard
Created to securely copy the elements of an entry. This automatic fill mode does not depend on the auto-fill services of the device, and does not share its info with other apps.This is the safest way to copy an entry.
- Activate "Magikeyboard" in the settings:
- In the KeePassDX app settings
Settings → Form filling → Device Keyboard Settings
- OR directly from the device settings, usually
Settings → Language & Input → Current Keyboard

- Activate special OS settings:
Activating settings in your system may be necessary to use Magikeyboard, otherwise you will not be able to open the app from the key button.
Some systems require the activation of special permissions (Xiaomi - MIUI):
- In
Settings → Manage Apps → KeePassDX → Other permissions
, turn onDisplay pop-up windows while running in the background
permissions.
Alternatively, you can disable MIUI optimizations which block a lot of elements in an unjustified way on the device:
- Activate the developer mode in
Settings → About Phone
by tappingBuild number
seven times. - In
Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Options
, turn offMIUI optimization
and restart the device.
Important note:
It seems that some Xiaomi devices has changed the MIUI system to block the display of an application from a keyboard. Some users have used App Ops and turn on a closed "Unknown Ops" to bypass this behaviour.
Batterie saver:
- Some systems restrict applications to save battery. This may affect the opening of the Magikeyboard. In this case, set the parameter
Battery Saver
toNo restriction
. (Note that the app does not use the battery unnecessarily)
